ball impressed moving
I see the quarterback is distributing ball to the right guys, making the right reads, and moving the ball down the field. I am very impressed by him.
against ate ball clock couple drives field half nice second
We haven't had the ball very much. We had a couple of nice drives in the second half against Rutgers, ate up the clock and got field goals.
ability ball deep throw
They have some other players. With D.J. Shockley's ability to throw the ball down the field, I think they'll still take some deep shots.
ball break burst extremely good pat played ran steve white
They showed some of their explosiveness. I thought Pat White played extremely well, ran the ball well and made some good decisions. And Steve Slaton, at times, he's got that burst that he can break one at any time.
ball game nobody passing plays run whether
I think you're going to have to make some plays in the passing game, whether or not the opportunities are there I don't know. But nobody has been able to run the ball on them,
ball boo call chance critique everybody people stands throw tight wants
I'll even go in the stands and let other people call the plays. Everybody who wants to throw the ball to the tight end will have their chance and can call those plays. I'll get a chance to critique them, and boo them.
ball control guys spark
Not only were we down, it wasn't even a ball game. They were in control. I told our guys all we need is a spark or two.
east graduation guys last lost neat realized talk watch winning
We lost a lot of guys to graduation last year, so we realized there wasn't going to be a lot of talk about us winning the Big East this year. It was neat to watch them come together.
bring creates draft fall flying others percent reason saves studied survive
I've studied this a little bit. The reason they do this is because flying in a 'V' formation creates a draft and that saves 70 percent of their energy. If one or two fall out of formation, others will go down and bring them back in. They can't survive on their own.
bit change field practice rains wet
It was a little bit wet but we were able to get through it. We don't have Field Turf where we are so, if it rains extensively, we'll have to change our practice site.
awake biggest night obviously waiting
I've been awake all night waiting on it. That's obviously our biggest concern.
defense lucky obviously
It would behoove us to have a low-scoring game. For that to happen, obviously we've got to play very well on defense and be lucky too,
bleak fourth guys hanging kept looked momentum
Things looked bleak there for a long time. But our guys kept hanging in there and we got a little momentum there in the fourth quarter.
convinced decision encouraged field physical position somewhere standpoint strong
Convinced is too strong a word. I'm optimistic. I feel encouraged that he can play that position. The thing with Nate is we've got to make a decision which position will get him on the field quicker. He does enough things from a physical standpoint we think he can play somewhere for us.
