I think in a lot of ways that the Cavaliers' performance mirrored the Gophers' performance or vice versa. At times, they look really, really good. And at other times, you think, well, there's some room for improvement there. But certain games look spectacular. (They) just jump at you. |

I think Laurence's performance last night was really kind of indicative of the way our offense went, |
I think they have a tremendous quarterback in Brandon Kirsch. At one time he had beaten out Kyle Orton ... He handles a lot. He's handled that option and throwing the ball extremely well. |

I thought it was the right time to take a shot. |
I thought our wide receivers really stepped it up in blocking, ... Because with a lot of the perimeter running that we do, they become point-of-attack blockers, and they really did a good job. |
I thought we should have had at least three more turnovers. Colorado State, they tried to run the football. I thought they had the ability to test us in that area better than last week. But they only had 29 rushes for 59 yards. You look at the stats, and a lot of those stats came late in the game when we were playing back on our heels and we had down-the-line guys in there, but I expected them to play better. |
I thought, 'How'd you do that? Here we go again. |
I told them in the locker room after the game ... we're the first bowl-eligible team in country, and they just kind of laughed. We've kind of gone past that level as saying we've reached success, it really didn't mean that much. |
I was dreading having to go, look in their eyes in the locker room and have to give them one of those talks that I've had to give too many times. We've kind of been snake-bitten against Purdue. |
I was hoping you guys had an answer because we sure didn't, I still haven't figured out how to stop the tight end over the middle. |
I would like to explain the end of our game against Wisconsin, but I'm still trying to figure it out. |
I'd be less than truthful if I didn't say that I've been thinking about it because it's important to a lot of people around me -- my coaches, their families and my family. But I really try to put it to the back burner because a lot of responsibilities I have here, and I literally don't have any time to spend on it. |
I'll greatly miss them and more because of the type of people they are rather than the type of players they are. It was fun. It was an honor for me to go to practice every day and joke around with those guys and talk to those guys. They're in my estimation what college football's all about. |
