coming defense early guys hard helping junior recovers tracking
Early in the season, there was a lot of separation, because he didn't think defense coming out of junior college. Now he's right with the guy, tracking hard and getting out in him. And our big guys are helping him, and he recovers better than he did.
game help lost ready though
Even though we lost the game (to Penn), I think it will help us get ready for the league.
factor fatigue good help reasons
I use it to help them get hungrier. There are reasons for that (domination in Reno). They're good and there's the fatigue factor (playing at Reno's 4,500-feet elevation).
bench change energy games help struggled
If we do change it, Ahmet can give us a lot of energy off the bench. There have been some games where our bench has struggled to give us points, and I know Ahmet can help there.
closer help teams
The new teams are all closer so that should help a little.
couple everybody help home plays practices
I don't know if it makes a difference, because everybody plays better at home in this league. But we'll still get a couple of practices in so that should help us a little bit.
cling fatigue helping instead man playing team tendency
When that fatigue hits, you have a tendency to cling to your man instead of helping and playing team defense.
bring guy hard help works
If every guy who comes back works hard and improves, and if we bring in recruits who can help us right away like we did this year, we'll be fine.
job man prepared sure
I'm sure they'll be prepared for it this time. We just have to do a better job with our man and keep them off balance.
grown hard held improve practice worked
They've really held together, grown as a team. They take coaching, they have worked hard in practice to improve their games, individually and (as a) team, and they like each other and play together.
game played schedule top tough
They've played a tough schedule and they've been in every ballgame. We have to be on top of our game if we want to win.
games win
This is it. We have to win some more games if we want to keep playing.
beating bit guess nevada performed watch
I'm embarrassed that you had to watch that and I'm embarrassed that we performed like that. You've got to give Nevada credit. I guess we stirred them up a little bit beating them at our place.
defense interior liked
I liked his defense. We haven't had interior defense like that in a while.
