That was the best defensive by far we've played this year, ... We switched some things up and whatever we did it seemed to work for us.
That's the kind of team we have, ... We don't have a whole bunch of plays, and our defense holds other teams to low numbers scoring-wise.
That's very good. That's a lot better than anybody we had, I can assure you of that.
Most coaches will tell you it's very important to win that last one. That's all anyone talks about.
Mike Davis ran extremely well. He's so much quicker and stronger than last year. So is Cory Boyd. He's a big time back.
Who knows what's going to happen? I've never gone on the assumption where we have a winning season this year, we're going to have one next year. We could get clobbered next year.
Whoever plays hard, whoever plays well will have a chance to be the captain the next game, ... We're beyond going by years in school.
I think most of them like it. The message I've received is: We've never been asked to upgrade facilities, but if that's what we need to do to be big-time, we'll do it.
It doesn't matter what I say right now until we play the games. People will write one way or another. That's fair. Opinions are all fair. But until we go play, who knows what's going to happen? But certainly I like the challenge. The opportunity. I like being in Washington, D.C., also. I like being amongst those critics up there, the guys who've never seen our teams play. Several of them are the experts in what's going to happen, but that's okay.
I tell you they gave us some tough battles,
I think he's got some in him. It just hasn't happened yet.
I think he senses he's not ready to play, so that's probably what we'll do.
We have our quarterback whisper. I found that's a lot easier on the ears, ... That way nobody can hear anything but the center. So he just whispers to the center, we snap it and run plays that way.
You just try to get your players ready, ... We just went and tried to get our players ready to play everywhere we went, and that's what we'll try to do here.
