caused degree fair hindsight issues percentage played rick trying versus
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.
cleared couple days five issue six wait
The clearinghouse issue hasn't been cleared up. It may be cleared up in two days, five days, six months, I don't know. If it's just a couple of days he could come right back, but if it's too long he'll have to wait and come in January.
both continue until win
We think they both can win for us, and that's the way we'll continue to go until we see otherwise,
athletes risk
We will not put our athletes at risk at all.
prove
Britton has got to prove he's a big-time kicker.
dynamic
I don't know that we have been as dynamic offensively as I thought we would to this point.
ability believe effort found good near played screw situations teams
I don't believe it's been an ability thing or an effort thing, ... We've played some good teams and found a way to screw it up in some special-teams situations and offensively not to be near what we thought.
apparently coming concerned weather
I am concerned about this weather that's apparently coming in, but that's not something we can do anything about today.
guys hits hope late
On the penalties, you have to hope you have better control. The late hits on the quarterback were close. You want your guys to be aggressive.
extremely good
I would have not thought that would have been the way it would have been. I still think we have extremely good big-play potential.
allow certainly conference hamilton mike obviously office page people president sending sure
Obviously if they're sending people out of Louisiana, I don't know why we would be going in, ... Our president (John Peterson) will not allow that to happen, I'm sure the conference office will be on the same page and (Athletic Director) Mike Hamilton is certainly on the same page.
brought calmness change consistency reason rick unless
Rick is our quarterback right now, and unless there's a reason to change we won't change. Obviously, Rick has brought consistency and calmness to our offense.
bit certainly command grade guys rick seems
Rick certainly seems in command right now. Erik seems to be pressing a bit out there. When you grade the film and look at all the cut-ups and all the breakdowns of all the drills, the two guys are equal.
last turn year
Last year was kind of our turn to get one of those, I guess.
