adam both earned good nice offense pat run understand unselfish win
But Adam and Pat both have earned the right to play. They both are good enough to win with. The nice part is we can run the whole offense with both. They're unselfish and understand their roles.
giving good guys pressure run strong understand
They're doing pretty good. I'd like to get more pressure on the quarterback at times. But those guys are giving pretty good effort. I like the way they work. I think they are all guys that are very strong and can run and can understand what we want out of their schemes.
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,
backs bonus five fresh legs playing running time
I think it's a big bonus for us to be able to play four, five running backs because having fresh legs and playing two at a time and doing all the things our running backs have to do, they can get pretty gassed.
anxious areas bowl everybody games guys last love played run team
Hey, we have a lot of guys back. And we can't run guys out of here. They love going to bowl games and getting those gifts. But I am approaching it the same. I am anxious to see how much better our guys can get. Everybody that we played (in the Big East) had a young team last year. We played pretty well, but there are always areas to improve.
couple hard mistakes player runs
He still made a couple of mistakes, but not as many as a first-year player usually makes. He has the right temperament for that position. He runs hard and he has a burst.
cut explosive running today
He's an explosive player. We've really been on him about making one cut and then running. He did that today and he really made it work.
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.
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.
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.
