Our biggest problem has been, offensively, getting the ball in the end zone. We've had ample opportunities in the red zone that would have impacted all those games, and we have just not been able to execute the things we need to do. |
Our players embraced him and Chad gets most of the credit for that because of the way he handled the pressure of the job and the praise he got for doing it. But (quarterbacks coach) Scot Loeffler did a great job of helping him get better every day and (offensive coordinator) Terry Malone did a great job of giving him things he could handle, not overloading him. |
Rockne and Yost did not get along, |
So there are going to be some changes in the lineup because we're not going to sit and watch that type of effort. We need to play harder, we need to play tougher. |
Some things happened at the end, but I'll have to wait and see on tape. I thought our players deserved better. I don't know how many people were on the field. I don't know how that happened. |
That experience sometimes comes at an expensive cost, but I think in terms of the future teams here at Michigan, it will be valuable to those guys that had the opportunity to play early. |
That's a big blow to us. Our plans were to play him at quarterback this spring. So we'll have to see how that goes. |
That's as wild a game as I've ever been in — just unbelievable. |
That's very, very unlike him, |
The big problem we had in the second half was offensively, ... With the exception of one big play, we just couldn't get much going. |
The biggest question mark about Michigan across the country, I'm sure, is our defense. |
The biggest question mark across the country about Michigan, ... is our defense. |
The finest athlete I've ever seen on the field as a quarterback. |
The idea is to try to do as much in practice as you can to simulate the noise factor and the communication, how much closer you have to listen. We'll work on all those things. We'll do everything we can. |
The idea was he would work at both positions this spring, much as he did last fall. He spent a significant amount of time at the quarterback position. That's a huge disappointment for us. |
