complete game looking together
This was a game we've been looking for. We really hadn't put a complete game together yet.
cradle everybody knows miami people realize work
When you have to come to work every day and see them on the wall, you realize the people that have been here. Everybody knows Miami as the Cradle of Coaches.
clock gave hole huge momentum obviously run score turning
We run out the clock or don't let them score and we're down 13-0 at the half. Obviously that was a huge turning point. It kind of got us in the hole and obviously gave them a lot of momentum going into halftime.
against good guy hold job schemes ted
When you play against a guy like Ted Ginn, you kind of hold your breath. You know what you're going to do on defense, you have your schemes for him, and we did do a good job. We did a good job on our punt team.
coaching longer takes though time
Even though I was here (as an assistant), any time there is a coaching change, sometimes it takes a little longer than you would like to.
athletic carry confidence facing fourth hopefully playing pleased quarter team
I was pleased with the effort, for the most part, especially in the fourth quarter ... and hopefully it'll carry over this week. We're facing a tough, athletic team that's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
against athletic carry central confidence effort face fourth gotten hope michigan ohio playing pleased quarter talented team watching week
I was pleased with the effort (against Ohio State), especially in the fourth quarter when things could have gotten out of hand. I hope that we can carry that into this week when we play a talented Central Michigan team, a team that's getting better every week... After watching them against Indiana, we know we're going to face a tough, very athletic team that's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
biggest conference defense difference field games guys half mac ohio overall playing run second state teams ten third tired toughest type
Now you see MAC teams playing a lot of Big Ten teams tough. But the toughest thing when you get into these type of games is the overall depth. Recruiting-wise they still get, most the time, who they want. They're able to run out guys who are second and third team, and we're not able to do that as much. Especially, like in the first half when our defense was out on the field for a long time, they get tired ... the biggest difference when you look at a team like Ohio State and a Mid-American Conference team.
effort
I think I'm disappointed not in the effort of our team, but in making plays.
dropped last passes
I think we had more dropped passes (Saturday) than we had all of last year.
mental pressure saturday saw seen
Most of the pressure we saw Saturday we had seen before. We just had some mental breakdowns. You see that sometimes in your first game.
closing great home miami opening regular schedule season thanksgiving tradition versus weekend
From opening the season at home versus the Big Ten, to closing the regular season by renewing a Thanksgiving weekend tradition (Ohio, Nov. 24), this is a great schedule for Miami football.
game gives last ohio opportunity paper rather team week year
For us to play a team like Ohio State, it's better that we play them in the first game of the year rather than in the middle. It gives us the opportunity for working the kinks out. This week is more important on paper than last week.
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.
