elevate few games league moving national nobody past program time trying tv
It's the first time on national TV (ESPN2), and with them moving up to the Big East, they're trying to elevate their program to where we've been the past few years. It's one of those games nobody else in our league has.
affect goal happened locker mac matter next players start today turn whatever win
I told my players in the locker room, though, that whatever happened today was not going to affect our goal this season, which to win the MAC championship. That goal is still in place. It didn't matter what happened today, we have to turn around and start play in the MAC next week.
ball dropped foot last obviously ourselves passes second shot throw work
We shot ourselves in the foot in the second half, I thought. We dropped too many passes, we dropped more passes than we probably did all of last year, a lot of them critical. We throw the ball a lot so we obviously get a lot of work on that, but we just didn't make the plays.
bit coming everybody fall giving
We'll have a little bit of a better idea coming out of the spring. We want to go into the fall giving everybody reps.

We did not tackle well today and we gave up too many big plays.
We play, it seems, like every day of the week.

This game had a lot of momentum changes. We had chances to grasp control early, but we let them hang in there, and they made some plays. We shot ourselves in the foot in the second half.
dropped last passes
I think we had more dropped passes (Saturday) than we had all of last year.

If Jared gets healthy, I would feel comfortable with any of them out there.
break cuts durable hits joke kid people quicker threat time
He's fast, but he's quicker than he is fast. He makes cuts that most people don't make. But at the same time a tough, durable kid for his size. He hits the holes, and we joke sometimes he doesn't break as many tackles as you would like. At the same time he's a threat to go all the way on every touch.
game plays
In a big game like that, you have to make big plays when you have your chances.
excited knew moment national players
I knew it was going to be on national TV, so the buildup was pretty good. Obviously, I was pretty excited about how the players reacted to it. It was a moment you'll never forget.
