couple deserved home overlooked point
We did not play. I don't know if we overlooked them, (but) there's no point in complaining about it. We deserved to lose. We should be going home and we will be going home in a couple of hours.
game gap kick nice sharing trying understood
We would get in the gap and then kick it out 15 feet, and that's nice because you're sharing the ball. But what we were trying to do was put the game away earlier, so we understood how you do put a game away.
came knows rivalry team win
Every team we play is a rivalry in a sense, because you try to win every game. That's what it's all about. Who knows who came up with this rivalry?
finally missed nice possession win
Every possession was crucial. Every point, every missed cut. It was that kind of a game. It's nice to finally win here.
blood choke game goes grab neck period pressure relaxing start teams time until
Every game we have a period of time when we slack. We grab teams by the neck and choke them until they can't breathe. Then we start relaxing and my blood pressure goes up.
chickens cut excited far figured necks running settle settled wondered
We were excited at the beginning, like chickens running around with their necks cut off. I figured we would settle in. I just wondered how far down we'd go before we settled down.
talent
We just want to get more talent and more depth.
count
We all count on her to do the incredible.
everybody function game maybe next second turn
I don't know what to say. Maybe the next game we do the same thing. Maybe we'll turn it on in the second half. Everybody has to function at the same time.
anyone arrive best decided four spread talent teams thinking trying
I don't know what anyone was thinking about when they decided to do this. I thought we were trying to spread the talent so the four best teams could arrive at the one spot.
came determine rivalry
I don't know who came up with this rivalry business. I have enough sense to know a rivalry is when you can't determine the outcome.
anybody appreciate bent bit build came claimed competition envelope hoped jewel loves people push shape terms thinking
I came to Rutgers to try to build Rutgers to become the jewel of the East. I really think a lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the East. I don't know where you're going to get 'jewel' when you are undiscovered and unpolished. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the East. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.
wish
I wish we could get a little more out of her offensively, and I think it's going to come.
consider elephant fueled hurt length loss pain personally season sting
I am so personally hurt with losses. I really am an elephant like that. I don't forget. I can still feel the pain and sting of it (last year's loss to Tennessee). So when you consider the length of the season and when you can be a little tired, I am not. I am just fueled by what could have been.
