game
it would have been a lot more interesting game, and you never know what can happen.
backs ball beating chasing easy faster game guys hand history love running stronger time
Running backs take a beating because the guys chasing them are bigger, stronger and faster than at any time in the history of the game. I'd love to have a guy you can hand the ball 25 times a game and he'd always get 100 yards, but that's not an easy thing these days.
amount games limited lost next ohio preparing quarter school somebody start state system three until
At Oregon, we were on the quarter system and didn't start school until September, so we'd play three games before school started. One year, I lost a game at Ohio State and went back to two-a-days the next week. You can't do that anymore. You used to be able to outwork somebody in preparing for a game, but now everybody's limited to the same amount of time.
believe easy field game people played prove ripping start team zone
We haven't played a game yet. It's easy to say that when you haven't played a game, ... Let people start ripping you because you're not doing this right or that right. Then let's see if we have that team chemistry. I believe we will. I think it will be pretty solid. But that's all talk. That doesn't get you in the end zone right now. We've got to go out on the field and prove all of these things.
games giving good hayden lane played
Hayden Lane has played some good games for us. We are not giving up on him. We need better production, particularly from the right tackle.
game instant pivotal replay understand
I don't understand why we have instant replay if we don't look at a pivotal play in the game like that. All we have to do is look at it.
bothered game instant pivotal point review stop time understand work wrinkles
If we don't stop the game and look at it at that point in time on a pivotal play I don't understand it. And I know we have some wrinkles to work out with instant replay, but I'm just bothered that we didn't stop and review it.
game passing suffering
The passing game is suffering because we're not getting the play we need from the receivers.
ball close game learned lesson turning
We learned a lesson in turning a close game into a rout. All you've got to do is turn the ball over.
game talk win
We'd better win this game (Auburn) before we talk about any bowls.
ability badly care fans game impacts improved judged judging kept people starting struggling team year
We're judged every game we play. A lot of people who do the judging don't care about injuries. They don't care about anything that impacts your ability to go out and perform. I feel very badly for our team and for our fans that we couldn't have kept the nucleus we had starting the year out intact, because I think it was an improved lot. But now we're struggling to show we are improved,
game good job run somebody win
They do a good job with the quarterback run game and with the option, ... Somebody once told me that you couldn't win in the SEC with the option, but doggone it, somebody's doing it and they're doing it pretty well.
games momentum start turned winning
The momentum will really get going when we start winning games. I think we've turned the corner, but we've got to get to the straightaway and accelerate.
blocking game good guy hard strong time
This guy is a big-time player. I think you are going to see this every game out of him. We've had a hard time blocking him all spring. Myron is very instinctive, very strong and he can run. That's a pretty good combination.
