We had a good feeling about Hank Hendricks and what he was doing. Today he couldn't really get in the flow.

I'm real nervous. I've never been in this position in my life as a head coach. I just hope everything we've done in fall camp has led us up to this.

It's not a real in-depth thing. I trust him enough that I know the offense is going to be sound and we'll offer a new wrinkle or two each week.
close giving handle late league mary settled taking tape until watching william
Nothing will be settled in this league until we get into November, late November. I'm watching tape of Northeastern and they're giving William & Mary everything they can handle and more and taking them to overtime. And we weren't even close to William & Mary.
ball great job line
They did a great job of getting the ball off and the line did a great job of protecting.
athletic bigger both george good physical speed
Both have good speed and they've got athleticism and they've been able to get bigger and stronger. They're not as physical as George (Peterson), but they're as athletic or a little more so. But they're not as powerful. That's an issue.

This is going to be a whole different test for us. I mentioned to the kids last Sunday that we've had three tough quizzes coming out of the gate. UC Davis, Towson on the road, Dartmouth here, all good tests for us. But this is the first major exam.

Schwab had been practicing real well and we gave him an opportunity. He played pretty well.
ball held
We made a lot of big plays. We had a lot of long passes. And they held the ball on us a little bit. I think defensively we need to be a little more consistent.
