chance great john nice opportunity rise step
It would be nice to see John step up, ... This is a great opportunity for him. If he's ever going to do it, this is a chance for him to rise to the occasion.
flying football good great heart hits played
Bo played a great football game, ... He tackled, he covered, he played his heart out. I'd like more of (the tackles) not to get to him, but it's good when he's flying around and getting to the football, and not only did he tackle, he put some hits on people.
great mild played playing
Disappointment is a mild term. This is devastating for him because he played such a great game. He has been playing better than he ever has, and this is a big disappointment, for him and for our defense.
great legitimate line next offensive
I tell you one thing, this is a great scout-team offensive line we have here right now, ... That's what you look for. Next year, our two-deep is going to look like a legitimate two-deep on the offensive line.
ball beat bottom credit expect football great three throws
We can't have a quarterback fumble the ball three times and expect to beat anybody. You don't fumble a football, that's the bottom line. But I'm going to give him a lot of credit for making some great throws too, doing some great things.
ability athletic basketball gives good great high option receiving school success
Maurice gives us an option as a big back with athletic ability who also has good receiving skills. His basketball success in high school indicates his great athletic ability.
aaron absence bring competition gained great intense left position spring strength tackle weighs weight
It's great to have Aaron back in school. During his absence he's gained strength and weight (now weighs 298 pounds). He will bring intense competition to the left tackle position during spring practice.
blame good great learn talent tim
Tim will get more comfortable, ... He's a great talent, but he's a freshman. He'll be a good punter, and he'll learn from it. He was nervous, and I can't say that I blame him. I was nervous, too.
great guys job miss point school summer track
We'll miss Tony. He's one of our breakaway guys and I'm disappointed for him because he got a 3.5 (grade point average) during summer school and has done a great job getting back on track academically.
flying football good great heart hits people physical played running
He played a great football game. He tackled, he covered. He played his heart out. I would like more of them (opposing players) not to get to him, particularly in the running game, but it is good when he's flying around and getting to the ball. Not only did he tackle, but he put hits on people and was a very physical corner. We need that.
ability catch five four great help incomplete knock last opportunity pass shakes
The last play was not a great call, but we wanted him to get that opportunity to catch the ball. In another four to five days, that pass will be incomplete because Ravi will go up and knock it away. He has the ability to help this team. We'll just see how it all shakes out.
football good talk tried
We tried to talk him out of (quitting football). He did some real good things and I think he would have done well on the football field.
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.
