although answered call direction early feet few good move pressure
I thought they answered the call and put some pressure on them early in the game. Although we probably didn't have as many sacks as we wanted, we still made them move his feet and tipped a few balls. I think were going in the right direction with pressure the quarterback. Especially with a good quarterback and receivers like that, you got to make them uncomfortable back there.
among challenge schedules stretch team teams
I would say it's among the most challenging schedules a Toledo team has ever played. We have two Big 12 teams and a team from the Big East. It's a challenge and a real stretch for our program.
focus players prepared proud team
Our players were aware, sure, but they didn't focus on any of that. We prepared well and we executed well. I was proud of the way our team went about its business.
last nice practice
He had a nice practice last night, and all indications are he should be able to play this week.
best clint early good grasp guy obviously offense run
Clint Cochran is the guy with the best grasp of the offense right now. He has a good arm, he can run the offense and he has the most experience. So obviously he will have the early advantage.
chance dream good level starter
I have to be honest. I thought he'd have a chance to be a good player. But never did I dream he could be a three-year starter and play at the level he has.
ends group hard hard-work maybe sort tight tribute
(Hopkins) making all-conference was a tribute to his hard work, but also maybe a tribute to our tight ends as a group. He sort of represented the group with that honor.
football genuine help honest team university willing
He's willing to do anything to help the university and the football team look good, and it's all honest and genuine with him.
played
I don't see it that way. I know how we have played and I know what we do. That's all that I look at.
