guys lose replace
When you lose guys like that, you have to find a way to replace them.
chance high people prove school sports
We wanted to give people a chance to come out and prove that they can come from high school and play at this level.
easy gave good intensity played
It was not a very good day for us. I thought we played mediocre. We did not come out with a lot of intensity and gave away some easy scores.
explained pull
No, it was not explained to me. I was just told to pull them out and that is what I did.
helped positive sideline watch
It (Saturday's game) was very positive for Chris. I think it helped him to be on the sideline and watch Josh.
best football good leader player surface tremendous
I told (Pompey) it's best for him not to go out there and have a setback. He's a good player and a tremendous leader for us. He will play more football and with that (artificial turf) surface out there I didn't want him to re-injure the (right) toe.
bit difficult ethic learning pace transition work
It's a little bit difficult because they are in transition right now. They are learning how to do things. They are learning about our work ethic and pace of our practices.
athletic helps loss move program survive
This really helps our program move forward. The loss of 28 scholarships would have been athletic suicide. We never would have been able to survive that.
good players trying understanding
We want to see the things that the players have learned. They should have a good understanding of what we are trying to do by now.
coaches great job mandate motivate potential risk role
We still won't be great risk-takers. That is something that I am going to mandate for myself. We have to do a great job of evaluating potential recruits. It's also our role as coaches to motivate and let them know what they need to do to graduate.
convenient situation spoke
It is a challenge. I spoke about things being uncomfortable sometimes. It's not always going to be a situation where it's going to be convenient for you.
bring defense emerge excellent game pressure ranked weekend
We'll find out this weekend because Howard has an excellent defense that's ranked nationally. They bring a lot of pressure (and) blitzes so I think this may end up being the determining game as to who will emerge as quarterback for us.
positions replace
As a team, you have to have balance. We went out and recruited positions of need. We had to replace some quarterbacks - that was a position of need.
coached history played players pride reasons
This is a storied program. You look at the history, you look at the players who played here, the players who coached here. There's a lot of history here, and there's a lot of pride for this university. One of the reasons I wanted to be here was because of the alumni.
