I don't think our run game was where we need it to be. The four new starters on the offensive line, they'll continue to get better. |
I said they're games and they're big games. I said to the team. 'This I'd say is the biggest game since I've been there...' I think now, we're getting to the point where this is a really big game. |
I think that was the turning point of the game. From then on, I thought the defense had a lot of confidence. |
I thought we played really smart today. We looked like a real college football team, you know, the enthusiasm, the energy. ... There was a genuine enthusiasm, not fake enthusiasm out there. To me that was a really good football game. |
I'm not sure what to make of them. |
It is like looking in a mirror. In my two years here I think this game has turned into a really nice rivalry. If you ask our players and coaches this is a team we like to compete against. I think they are two very similar teams. |
There are probably more schools with a combination of really good athletics and academics than any state in the country. |
There's just kind of a confidence that was throughout pre-game and throughout the locker room before the game, and even at halftime, there was a confidence that I hadn't seen in our student athletes at Columbia since I've been here. I don't think there was ever a thought that we weren't going to win that game. There wasn't any panic, ever. |
They beat us in every facet of the game. Offense, defense and kicking. |
We do need to find another playmaker on offense, whether it's the tight end or who it is. Or teams are just going to quadruple-cover Bowser. |
We were playing with an edge and confidence that I hadn't seen at Columbia. |
We'll watch the film and we'll make decisions. |
We've played well, what we did Saturday was play winning football. We did the little things. |
