Tony was gone and it was supposed to be my team in '77. I was the guy who was supposed to carry us. That's why what happened was so devastating. |
We are getting closer every day, we really are. We're going to need every day because we have a ways to go, but I am seeing some signs that they are starting to think like one. They've made strides the last few days and they are starting to take a lot of pride in what they do, so we're on our way. |
We have to get the turnovers under control. But it is more than just Tyler -- our receivers have to work back to some balls, our line has to protect a little better. But if we can cut down on turnovers against Nebraska we will have a chance. There are a lot of nuances about the college game that I have to learn as well. It's only two games so it is too early to press the panic button just yet. |
We just have to convince (Collins) that there's activity at the position other than just throwing your big body at somebody to block him. But he's adapted to it pretty well. He's still working at it, but he's on track. |
We probably should take some more shots down the field. We need to give those guys an opportunity, and Tyler's got to get the confidence that if he puts the ball up, his guy's going to go up and compete for it and come down with it. |
We'll go with whoever is hot. |
We're going to shake up the backfield a little bit, and give the other guys a chance, too. |
We've had a lot less mental mistakes than we had last year at this time, and I think they're starting to understand. A lot of the terminology is identical, with just a few changes, but there's better communication overall. |
