question
There is no question that we're not where we need to be on offense. But I think we can get there.

When we put the whole thing together, we've got a pretty good chance to be a pretty good football team.

They split the reps (in practice). We have two quarterbacks. Whoever runs out there first will be first.
ability arm except game good jonathan pleased throw
I thought Erik had a good game except for the two sacks. I've been pleased with Jonathan Crompton for him to get into the huddle and verbalize the way he does and with his ability to throw with arm strength. That's been impressive.
good group time
I think we've got as good a group there as we've had in some time as a whole.

He won the game, basically. It's hard to believe from a punter, but the guy's been incredible, not just with the length of the kicks but the direction of his kicks. Your jaw drops as to how well he kicks it.

But I believe those other guys will come out of the pack.

If you look at the history of the school and what they've done in a short period of time, it's quite amazing, ... It's a scary team.

Hindsight is 20-20, and I was trying to be fair to all concerned, ... Rick had played really well for us. It's not working out. What degree it's caused some of the issues versus man-to-man (coverage) and some of those things, I can't put a percentage on that. It's one of the things that we can do something about.
