needs offense responsibility
The offense needs leadership. The quarterbacks have to take responsibility in that area.
both either field football guys hands offense tony
We are experimenting some with our offense to see what we can do with them. I still want to see if Tony can do everything on the football field that he did in conditioning. I'm comfortable with either one of those guys having the ball in their hands because they both are real threats. It just makes sense to try and have both of them on the field at the same time.
difficult game indiana kicked
Indiana outplayed us, they outcoached us, they kicked our fannies, ... It's a very difficult game to swallow.

I know people don't like to talk about defense, but this was a defensive day weather-wise, as well as on the field for us.

It was just like somebody stuck a knife in our stomach. It's a shame.

They've got to make plays and not make negative plays. The negative plays are as big a factor in this race as anything. You can not make negative plays.

I'm going to see the draw play in my dreams for the next three weeks, ... Everybody in the stadium knew it was coming, and we still couldn't stop it.
chance close coming finishing gave good hard looking ourselves played plays tired
I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.
guys help influence recruit top
I've had other guys try to influence recruits, but never as demonstratively as Micah. He didn't want to be the only top recruit ... he wanted to get us some help down here.
amazing expecting hit indiana injuries situations spot talented
It's amazing how situations can change. I don't know what Indiana was expecting to have at receiver, but I know they are very talented at that spot now. We thought we would be, but injuries have really hit us hard.

consistent continuity football given good implement last losing nice oregon plan reaffirm since six time turned worked
The last six years I was (at Oregon), we were a very good football team, and since then they have only had one losing season, ... The continuity there is what turned Oregon into a consistent winner. It was nice to see that and reaffirm that we actually did know what we were doing. We did have a plan that worked and were given the time to implement that.
