It would be awesome to go a couple more games and have a chance to be in a position like that. I know their fans and their followers have just got to be loving it.
These are two historic offenses. You just don't see numbers like this except in video games.
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 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.
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.
I don't understand. We've played in that setting for years, and I think it adds to the game and the excitement of it.
I don't feel a whole lot different about going into this game than I did back then. It's all the dreams of a kid coming to the fore.
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.
We didn't expect it to be this easy, but the game went our way from the beginning. I was a little surprised.
We're trying to hustle Sedrick's development. The first game is not an indicative game. Hawaii doesn't run a normal offense.
It still feels very early in the program. I don't think we've done anything truly remarkable yet, but I see the potential for a run. There's a chance for us to be a very good, long-term program where one game or season shouldn't affect that.
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.
