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.
nice took
I like him to take those chances. I thought it took a nice play by their guy.
hard precision slowing time
They were precision out there. They were very unselfish. We were having a hard time slowing them down.
change game last matter stock taking time week whether won
They'll be fine. Only time will tell. But whether we won last week or lost, we still have to play Minnesota. I don't put too much stock in a game taking too much out of you. I don't think one game should change your outlook, no matter how big a game it is.
bat hit opened
They hit that one right off the bat on us. They opened up the game.
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.
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.
creeping field forth fought game goes hard played position quarter
They played hard and fought their way back into the game. The game goes back and forth for two quarters, and they were kind of creeping back in the ballgame. We just have enough weapons, and we got some field position on turnovers there in the forth quarter to put the game away.
blocked came momentum number points special teams worth
There were some real plusses for us. Number one was special teams came up big for us tonight. We got the momentum going the right way, ... We had a blocked punt, special teams was worth about 14 points today. That's something we have to have.
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 effort extremely kid program worry
He's the kind of kid you want in your program because not only is he extremely talented, but you never have to worry that you're getting every little bit of effort he has.
