crowd downs exciting four full seen thinking
Thinking back through 45 years (of coaching), I haven't seen one as exciting as that with the crowd (nearly full at 32,713), nothing when they were at the 1- or 2-yard line, four downs to go.
help work
Right now, they're all healthy. I think it will help us a little bit. But if things don't work out (in the game), then I won't have any excuses.
coming credit football knew proved strong sure
Like they said in the old days, we got an old-fashioned butt-kicking. You have to give a lot of credit to Minnesota. We knew coming in they were a big, strong football team, and they sure proved it to us.
guys run step
Those guys have got to step up and block, not just run the football.
accurate ball games gets guy rid win
The quarterback is a guy who will win some games, a lot of games before this season's out, because he's very accurate and gets rid of the ball very quickly.
foreign offense players plays time
I don't think we were overconfident. Any time we play a foreign offense like we did, our players know we've got to make some plays and get them in third-and-8 (situations).
decent felt football
I felt like we got a lot of things done. I really feel we can be a decent football team.
block good guys starting strengths
I feel like we got what we wanted out of this. We're starting to see some real strengths and some real positives. The big thing we wanted was to see the guys block and tackle, and they did a pretty good job.
basically guys hard harder work
We'll work hard at it. We've got to get better at it; we've got to work harder and get the right guys in there. It's all about basically coaching.
evaluate finish move players scheme
We will evaluate our scheme and evaluate some players. Some players can make a big move this week, and really finish strong.
hard precision slowing time
They were precision out there. They were very unselfish. We were having a hard time slowing them down.
ball concerned hiding might naval nobody offense runs talked team
I told our team that it might only get the ball once a quarter, so they better make the most of it. Nobody runs that (triple option) offense better than the Naval Academy. I haven't talked a lot about (Navy's) defense. I'm concerned about their offense and there's no use hiding that.
We started out a little sluggish, but they got with it. I thought they responded pretty well.
bit couple far fast last slow teach trying
We're not going as fast as far as installation as we have in the past. We're trying to slow it down and see if we can teach a little bit more fundamentals, some of the things we've lacked the last couple years.
