That team absolutely took us apart in the second half, ... We'll be playing against a team that is very, very capable of blowing anybody out. |
That was one grand M.O. -- missed opportunity. We have to do a much better job of finishing the job. |
That's a big number. I'm basically just numb. |
That's inexcusable. We worked too hard on that. You can't have a punt blocked and win a football game. |
That's the lowest rushing total we've allowed in a long, long time, ... We had more tackles-for-loss on first and second down than we've had in a long, long time. We did a good job disrupting the run and blowing up some plays. |
That's what you look for in a running back, ... He doesn't look really big. He's 185 pounds right now. If he stays on course, he could have a great career here as a running back. |
The only thing that was really disappointing to me was the penalties, after watching the tape again. I was really disappointed about that coming off the field and still am angry about that. But other than that, I thought we got a lot done. |
The penalties, I've never seen so many flags fly in a game, ... That was certainly different than what I'm accustomed to being around. Obviously, one was thrown on me, and I'm very ashamed of that. |
The speed of this game is so much faster than you practice. It's a big advantage [to have already played], and there's nothing we can do about it. |
The speed of this game that we play is so much more fast than practice, |
The speed of this game that we play, it's so much (faster) than practice. You've heard me talk about playing fast in practice and speeding things up. That's the reason. That's a big advantage, and there's nothing we can do about it. |
Their defense is a lot of organized mayhem, ... It just drives you nuts. |
Then Frank becomes the coordinator at Fresno, and I watch what's going on up there. I see points on the board. I see things in his offense I want. |
Then you need to go out there and do it. We'll gain a lot of confidence if we go out there and play well this week. |
There are things we can build on and have a really good football team, ... The kids coming back on the plane last night - there were no heads down. I think they were proud of their effort. They knew they were in the ballgame until the very end, that they had a chance to win. I think they'll be an easy group to rally to get ready to play an unbelievably good Wisconsin team. |
