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.
lose rather ugly win work
We have a lot of work to do. But I'd rather win ugly than lose pretty.
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.
defensive five good remember syracuse winning
I don't ever remember having five turnovers and still winning the game. Syracuse had a good defensive plan. We were scrambling all day on offense.
coach goal level national program ultimate win
Obviously, the ultimate goal is to win the national championship. I think any coach of a program at this level would say that.
chances game somebody winning
When you make somebody one-dimensional, your chances of winning the game are pretty good.
basketball coach final goal nice saying win
It's like a basketball coach saying he's been to the Final Four. It's nice to have that recognition, but our goal is to be there more than once, and win it.
coached compete drill greatest guys learn looking love players win
As I told the team, we're not only looking for guys who can learn the system, we're also looking for guys who love to compete every day. The greatest players I've ever coached were guys who not only had talent, but wanted to win every drill they were in, and every play.
believed expected folks games guys locker room win
There weren't a lot of folks that expected us to win 10 games this year. I think the guys in that locker room believed that they could do it, and they did.
achieve east excited hard men obviously outright season win worked
We're obviously excited to win the outright Big East championship. Our young men have worked very hard all season to achieve this goal.
couple games last ok win
The last couple of games there's been a lot of long drives. The games are going a lot faster, which is OK as long as you win it.
defense execute factor good hope mind motivating plays rest win
I don't mind them being proud. The motivating factor is to play well and execute and win the game. I hope our defense plays as well as it has the rest of the year. If they do, we will be a good team.
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.
