We're anxious, ... But we still have a lot of work to do and a short amount of time.
eliminate last line offensive physical technique work
I think we got better last week. They toughened up. That was the most physical the offensive line has played. We're not there yet, but I think we're getting there. We told them if we eliminate the mistakes, work on our technique and get better, we'll be OK.
areas stronger teams until weak work
I think we have a little more work to do until we are like the teams they had in the 90's and 2000, ... We're still working on some things. Areas we feel we are a little weak in right now but we need to get stronger in.

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.
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.

They weren't as aggressive at first. That's something we have to get better at.

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.
