learned lose playing season year
They learned what it was like to lose and get back up. This year was about consistency, and I thought we started playing well mid-way through the year and just got better and better as the season went on.
bad chance defense easier games good playing week
The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.
brought forward glad guys interest miss playing
We're glad to have him back. I was one of the guys that said we were going to miss him because he brought a lot to our conference. He brought a lot of interest back. We look forward to playing him.
good next playing start talking
We're not going to start talking about anything but playing the next game. It's a good start. It's a good start.
ball drives execute finish line man men nine playing strengths
We were not able to finish off drives and execute and put the ball in the end zone. When they have nine men on the line of scrimmage and are playing man coverage, you have to take to strengths and use them.
barry comparable compete few football found guys last replace team ups
They've had a few ups and downs, been consistent, found a way to win. It's been one of those years for Barry also where he's had to replace a lot of guys and get his football team back to try to compete with what they had last year. So we're two very comparable teams.
I had no clue. Just take one of them out and put them in there.
ask doubt golf national vote
I've got a subscription to Golf Digest. I may ask them to vote us No. 1, ... We're 13-0. We should be national champions. There's no doubt about it.
everybody fun game good last plan practice ready tomorrow
It was a good day of practice. It was the last practice in any pads; tomorrow we will just be in helmets. All of the game plan is in. Everybody is ready to go. It was a fun day, but we're winding it down, and tomorrow we'll get in more of a game-type mood.
best good great individual victory
It was a good victory for us, ... It wasn't one of our best games, but we had some great individual performances.
attention ball gears good guys lack practice reason running shift spring throwing today tomorrow turn
It was a good practice today. We concentrated more on throwing the football. Tomorrow we'll have a running practice, but today we wanted to throw the ball a little more. There was good enthusiasm. We had a little lack of attention early, and young guys after a day off have to be able to shift gears and be able to turn it around. That's the reason you play spring ball.
backs clinic coaches coaching competition days defensive easing enthusiasm faces few good guys high looking mental past quicker school showing start starts today tomorrow watched watching
It was a good practice. Guys are showing a lot of enthusiasm. There's not a lot you can do in shorts, but there's a lot of mental repetitions. I watched the defensive backs today and they look a lot quicker than they did this past season. There are a lot of new faces we're looking at with that position. There will be a lot of competition with those guys this spring. Tomorrow we'll start easing into contact. Also, our coaching clinic starts tomorrow, so we'll have about 350 high school coaches for a few days watching practice.
area conference difference great limit special teams vital
It's very vital with the 85-scholarship limit that you do have walk-ons that participate on your special teams because they are so important. That's an area where they can come out and contribute. There's not a team in this conference that doesn't have walk-ons that participate that make a difference during the season. I think that's what's great about football.
ball best great job offense
Their quarterback did a great job getting the ball downfield. That's the best offense we've seen.
