football playing team
Rutgers is a team that has been playing with a lot of confidence. On film right now they are a 4-2 football team, just like we are.
backs bit effort everybody expected guys job line offensive pass playing pride regardless running work
Everybody has to take a bit more pride and effort that the No. 1 job of the offensive line and running backs is pass protection. You don't want that quarterback to be touched. You have to work to do that. Regardless of how many first-year guys we have in the offensive line, they're playing and that's the job they're expected to do.
extend extremely game hard kids played playing seniors
I am extremely disappointed for our seniors that weren't able to get this game and extend their season. Our kids competed hard and played hard, but playing hard doesn't get you what you want. And what we wanted was a win.
athletes bit both challenge football good head playing quite sides skill team terms tremendous week
There is a tremendous challenge for this football team this week as we head down to Atlanta. We know that they are an outstanding football team. They are well coached. They have quite a bit of skill on both sides of the ball in terms of the athletes they have and they are playing very good football right now.

Our kids are playing hard. I think they have some confidence. We know as the season progresses it's going to get tougher and tougher.

He's the type of guy that's going to do all the things that you want to do. He understands the scheme that we're playing very well. He has experience at his position and he's going to play hard all the time. That's what he's been able to do. His experience and his ability to understand what's going on have put him in a favorable position.

I knew physically that he had the ability to do it. It was just a matter of him learning his assignments and the things that he had to do from a mental standpoint of playing the position.

We tried to do everything we possibly could during this week of preparation to get him distracted on the practice field. I thought he handled things very well. We'll just have to just see if it carries over. I'm hoping the weather will be rainy and keep people away.
good
We got overwhelmed by a really good defense.
beginning nice outside practice regardless schedule whatever whether worry
The schedule that I've already made for beginning in August, I know this: Regardless of wind, rain, snow, sleet, whatever it may be, I'm never going to have to worry about changing. We can set a schedule and if I want to practice at 3:15 every day, we can practice at 3:15. Every day we're going to practice at 3:15 whether it's outside or it's inside. It will be nice when that day comes.
along balance east foes games gives good later mix mostly opponent road schedule season ten terms together week
The schedule gives us balance in terms of not being on the road more than one week at a time. I like that the Big East games are mostly together and later in the season while we also have a good mix of non-conference foes from the ACC, Big Ten and independents along with an old traditional opponent in Rhode Island.

They all watched the Iowa State-Army game on television. They saw what kind of team Army had.
best guys looking means opportunity
There will be two guys competing. I don't look if a guy is a walk-on or a guy is a scholarship player. I'm looking at who is the best guy that's going to give us our best opportunity to win. That's who we're going to go with. Walk-on or scholarship means nothing to me.
