Why stop a game if you're going to make mistakes fixing mistakes?
Looking at him, last year to this year, you can see the maturity in the throwing game and his decision-making and all of that.
Well, they have brought that same concept. They have a broader spectrum of things that they do in their offensive game plan. The thing I am really impressed with is how well they can execute that.
We've done everything we can do to this point, we've done it with a little flair, and a little bit of drama along the way. This game was an exclamation point for this 12-game run.
We get down to the end of the season and we've got a couple of games left and we're fortunately in that position, then that's a whole different thing, and we'll deal with it when the time comes. But right now it's not something that our guys talk about. It's not something topical on our football team because it means nothing.
It's been a big deal in this program about how we finish. Now it's the fourth quarter of the season. We've got three huge games coming up. We're just really fired up about it.
It was just an OK game for us. But we got through the first game. Now we go watch the tape, go back to work. About a month from now we should be all right.
Do I feel like they are threatening us, and are going to give us a hard time? ... Absolutely, it doesn't matter who we are playing. I don't think it is because of who we have playing, I think they have a loaded up offense. They have a really good philosophy with how they run their offense. I don't think it has to do with our personnel right now. That isn't what I am concerned about. I am concerned about teaching the game plan, and executing it well so we can hopefully give them some problems. I feel pretty much the same every week about that.
That right there is where the game was won and lost. We make the first down, we win the game.
This wound up being a bend-but-don't break game, ... I hate to play like that, but that's what this game became. The opportunity to win was still there, and it came down to, 'Are you going to get it done, or aren't you?'
This was a very important game for us. We needed to show everybody that we could play better than we did last week. Our guys did a good job of that today.
They have been in difficult situations a number of times where they have been well behind and come roaring back and finished games with big finishes, big plays. This is a really good group. We will have our hands full with this one.
I totally trust our team. Our preparation has been perfect to this point. That's my job. That's what I have been doing, orchestrating every part of this to a point that mentally lets these guys fly on game day.
This is what we have really prepared to do and hopefully built ourselves toward this. You can't get a big enough game for us.
