against athletic defense execution great handled job kids physical travel week
Our execution offensively was considerably better than it was in the first week and our defense did another great job against a physical and athletic team. With the travel and all the distractions that come with it, I thought the kids handled everything very well.
aspects embraced hard install key kids nice offense teams
EJ is a big part of what we're doing, but so is having all the other aspects of the offense in place so teams can't just key of him. We've been working real hard to install a new offense and the kids have embraced that and made a nice improvement.
address deal kids prepare ready team week
Fortunately, we don't have to deal with that. We didn't even address it with our kids this week because to us, it's a non-factor. We've just been working to prepare for a team that we know will be ready to play us.

Our toughest football is ahead of us. But I think these kids have taken the next step. I sure hope so because we're going to need it.
both coming focus football game kids minutes sides
Our big focus coming into this game was that we had to come out and play 48 minutes of football on both sides of the ball, and I think our kids did that tonight.
continue execute great ground plan takes whatever whether
We have to continue to execute offensively, to do whatever it takes to keep the ball. We plan to take what they give us, whether its on the ground or in the air. That's a great philosophy, but you still have to go out and execute.

Our defense did a great job on run defense.

Communication needs to improve on the field. I would also like to see improvement on our possession. We are okay, but we can get better.

We have to make sure our intensity level stays up and we can't take anything for granted,

That was a great punt by Conner. He put it right there in the corner and that was a key play. It was big-time.

We can't elect someone who needs a learning curve,

We do have some tough challenges ahead. I've been pleased with the progress of this team. I think we've prepared well for these last four games. Now we have to go out and accept the challenges that lie ahead.
