We could have won all those eight games. If we look at it overall, we're 53-8 in five years. That's an enviable place to be. ... Without a question, where we are and what we've done is something to be proud of. But as coaches you always look at those eight. Those are the ones that stand out, and it's always going to be that way. The fans look at the eight, but coaches are worse than fans because we can't go home at night and forget about them. |
We definitely expect (Atkins) to play. He's much, much better. It's just a situation where we don't want to set him back. |
We definitely limited Kyle and Greg Olsen. |
We didn't let Marcus get comfortable today. It was an outstanding team win for us, just a tremendous effort by our defense. That was a huge difference in the game. |
We didn't maintain the line of scrimmage. And we didn't tackle. |
We didn't need to force the ball. We had timeouts left and probably could have thrown something underneath. |
We didn't respond. We didn't match their emotion and their energy. |
We do have depth back there but we'll miss Anthony Reddick, he's a good football player. Phillips played 19 snaps against Florida State and had one mental error so he's ready. |
We don't condone any activity such as that. That's not how we operate. |
We don't condone it, but it happened. Is there a concern? Yes, there is a concern. People are going to think what they think. But the reality is, I know the players we have, I know the character we have. We're recruiting the right people. |
We don't need to see a lot more of Kyle. We didn't see Greg at all in the second half. |
We felt like our defense would make a stand. And we also felt like we could run the ball on Clemson. |
We get better and better and better. |
We got a glimpse of what can happen, where we can be. And with a very good Colorado team coming to town with a week off, certainly we'll have a tremendous challenge there. But I think being at home, this is a time we've got to build on. We've got to take advantage of it. Seize the day. |
We had a bad snap, and that was the game. |
