I wouldn't say it's come right back, and we won't know until game time if it's back totally. But the last month we were playing pretty well on offense and doing a lot of good things, so obviously we're hoping we can get back to that point. |
I'm a little biased. It looked a lot onside to me. |
I'm all for the bowl system as is. If they want to throw one more game in that would effect two teams, and in a perfect world do it maybe 10 to 14 days after the last bowl game is played, I think that's workable. |
I'm not a flamboyant person. |
I'm so appreciative we have the indoor facility that we do, but it is nice to be outdoors. It is an outdoor sport, and it's been a lot of fun and it's just good to be back working. The guys are working hard. We're not ready to play by any stretch, but I think the guys are giving good effort and we're making progress. |
I'm sure his Mom and Dad were both proud of Bryan. I think Bryan gained ground every week. He's been a good leader for us. The sky's the limit for him. |
I'm sure I feel like most coaches; I'm just anxious to get started, |
I'm sure nobody in their locker room is happy, because you're never happy when you come up short on the scoreboard. I know they came in here intending to win. They sure played like it. |
I've had discussions about that the last couple of years. I'm still here, aren't I? |
I've never come into any season assuming anything. I know a lot of people got carried away, perhaps, about our potential. But potential is potential. You can look it up in the dictionary (and see) what it means. What we do on the field is what counts, and it takes all 11 guys. We're not there yet. |
I've never had a five-year plan or a three-year plan, or whatever, ... We had an idea philosophically of what we were going to do and how we were going to do it. |
If we don't perform well, that's my responsibility, and so that's what I worry about. We have no control, like (today), we have no control how Florida is going to play. I'd anticipate them to play extremely well. When you have the talent that they've got and they play well, that's scary for us, so that's what we're expecting, and our job is to find a way to try to match that tempo and try to find a way to minimize some of the advantages they may have. So, that's our goal. I don't worry about the other stuff. |
In 2002 [when Iowa went to the Orange Bowl], we sailed right through without losing a starter to a surgery. This season has been the opposite. I think we've had 10. |
It looked a lot onside to me. But I'm biased. |
It makes us 1-and-1. It's pretty simple. You've got nine (games) to go and we're 1-1. |
