I've said this all along, but the thing Tim has continued to do is that he takes care of the football,
coming continue great happy improvement learning terms
Vince has done everything that I thought he would in terms of coming in, learning our package. I've been very, very happy with the way that's going. We've made great improvement on defense, as we should. We've just got to continue to improve there.
bigger continues football good player progress reason room spring ten weight
I think he's going to get bigger and better. He's going to play a lot of football here. If he continues to progress the way he has this spring and in the weight room this winter, there's no reason why he can't be an awfully good player in the Big Ten Conference.
accelerate close continue defense drill feet improve injuries learn offense separate
That's something that we're going to have to continue to improve on; it's something that we need. It's close contact, usually you don't get many injuries there. It's a drill where the defense has got to learn to separate and the offense has to accelerate their feet and just keep doing it.

We're fine; this thing is going to keep on going at the same speed. We're not going to slow down a bit. I don't foresee any change at all.
balls confident continue couple fall improved last missed threw
He missed a couple balls out there. You want to see him be a little more accurate. He threw some behind, but he will continue to get better. He's better than he was last fall and I feel confident that he has improved from the fall.
again continue improve ready
I just told them we're not ready to play, but then again we don't have to be ready to play. We still got some time, so we've got to continue to improve and get better.

We just got worn out a bit, ... They did a good job coming back and we just tried to fend off the onslaught.

We're using what we feel is everybody we have, ... The good players have to play good, and everyone has to play as hard as they possibly can play.
plays seen year
I've seen more big plays this year than ever.
excited guys handle helped hopefully mature ourselves seven spring younger
Right now, we're undefeated. I'm more excited about a spring than I've been in a long, long time. (But) we've got a long way to go. We're a little bigger, a little stronger, hopefully a little quicker. We've helped ourselves with the seven (new) guys that are in here right now and the younger guys are a little more mature in how they handle themselves.
days exactly though until
Even though it probably went exactly as we thought it would two days ago, until those faxes come across, you never know.
concerns michigan
The thing that concerns me is what I could have done differently to get that out of them (against Michigan State).
