goes guy hid level starting sure
I thought he was steady, ... There's always a level of jitters that goes on with a guy that's starting his first game. He hid it well. I'm sure he had some.
couple denying difficult good guy opportunity pattern
It's pretty difficult for me to try him any more than he's already been tried. I don't feel particularly good about denying a guy an opportunity on a misdemeanor alone. If he'd had a couple of misdemeanors or a pattern of them, that's different.
anybody country guys pull recruiting time
I've said this one time before ? if anybody could do it, we wouldn't go around the country recruiting these guys to play quarterback. We'd just go to 7-Eleven and pull the guys out of there. There's a lot of guys at 7-Eleven who'd like to play quarterback.
great group guys impressive job plays respond
Defensively, I think this is the most impressive group of guys able to respond to play after play. Overall, they did a great job making big plays and working well together.
guys high homecoming last lost moses school time
Moses was in high school the last time these guys lost a homecoming game.
account both few good offer running skills variety wide
I think they have a really good running back, and they have a few quarterbacks that both offer a variety of things. The quarterbacks have different skills that account for a wide variety of things. But then the running back is a really good player.
ball both given guess happen rather routine sides sloppy start trying
I thought on both sides of the ball we were sloppy to start this game. My guess would be we were trying to make too much happen on any given play, rather than try to make routine plays.
attention commands contained explosive given great period player time
I thought he was pretty good. We contained him for a period of time but he is very explosive and can go off at any given moment. He is a great player and he commands as much attention as any player in the conference.
I think they're going to be really good.
few good happy job lottery realize reward sure
I think they realize I've done a good job for them, and they wanted to reward me and make sure I'm here for a few years. It's not a lottery deal, but I'm happy with it.
ball both period played sides
We were sloppier on both sides of the ball but we played well for a period of time.
couch point quite tim watching
Tim Couch: He's like Couch from the point that you see him watching film in there quite a bit,
catching challenged inside past preventing run throwing
They challenged us. They said, 'Here, try to run past us, try to run inside us.' And they were better at preventing that than we were throwing and catching it.
football played
You can just tell they've played a lot of football and have a lot of confidence.
