came defense guys might rest scoring second sure talked
After the second score, the defense came over and said, 'Coach, they're not scoring again,' ... And sure enough, they didn't. Our guys did a lot of gang-tackling. You might make one or two miss, but the rest of them are coming. And that's the thing we talked about - pursuit.
defense line normal thinking
It was very emotional. (Even) at that moment, he's thinking about the team. We told the defense to keep them down there. They were on the one-foot line and they couldn't get their normal distance. We went for the block.
behind defense four game kept offense playing talked until
We talked about playing the whole four quarters. They got a little down being behind 10-0 at halftime, but they wanted it. The defense kept us in the game until the offense started clicking.
game kept played situation sports tough
They just played outstanding. They kept us in the game long enough to win. They were put in a tough situation but kept playing.
great injuries move people teddy
It was great to have those weeks, especially after the injuries to Kendall and (wide receiver) Teddy (Williams). It let us make some adjustments, move people around and make us a better club. I think we put people in the right position.
aggressive
They weren't as aggressive at first. That's something we have to get better at.

We won (last week), ... But we know we have some mistakes to correct. But the more we get reps, the better we'll get with our assignments.

We try to do that. We have a number of athletes capable (of contributing). We don't want to be one-dimensional.

Each game just helps with our confidence. A win would go a long way toward us making the playoffs.
guys nervous
We had some first-game jitters. The guys were as nervous at the beginning.
ball execute move people whenever
Offensively, we can move the ball when we want to, and whenever we have to. I would like to see us execute better and be more consistent. If we want to play with the people in our district, we have to be consistent. We're not there yet.
blitz kerry offense people position send stay stop
Defensively, they're a 4-3 and they're aggressive, send people and stay in man. We have to have people in position or they'll take advantage. Our offense has to stop the blitz and give Kerry time. If we do that and put Kendall in the secondary, we'll be successful.

I am surprised that paper doesn't pick up the Amazon and Congo basins, regions where there is a large number of animal species with small ranges.
junior
They do a lot of formations. Their quarterback is the No. 2 junior (prospect) in the national. And, he's tall.
