If you start saying, 'We have to do this, this year, and we have to do that next year,' that's when you get in trouble. I've never coached like that and I'm never going to coach like that. I'm blessed. My job is my hobby. I'm never going to let it get to where I start coaching tight. That's not me. |
If you're willing to risk a timeout for it, it's probably worth it. Having instant replay in any form is better than not having it. |
It does slow you down. |
It was a hard day to judge any skill position with the wind and the rain. |
It was wholly uncharacteristic of Rutgers football. |
It will be a true test right off the bat. |
It's been awhile that we were involved in a game like this. Not that it means a heck of a lot, because at the end of Saturday there's still a ton of football to play. |
It's no secret Mike threw 10 interceptions last year. We have to find a way to make sure that goes away. |
It's only week five. We'd be negligent if we didn't start getting more people ready, because we're running out of people. I'm not naive to the fact that when you play true freshmen, hold onto your hat, there's things that are going to happen that are beyond explanation. |
My biggest fear, if there was one, was getting into a shootout with this team. There's been nobody that's really stopped them. |

Once that ball leaves the hand of anybody, it's hard to judge it. But early on, when we were going with the wind, I thought Mike threw some good balls. I did see Ray at the beginning of the game, and he ran the ball well. |
One thing about having success is that the stakes get higher each and every game. That's fun to be involved with here at Rutgers again. It's been a while for me personally and it certainly gets the juices flowing. |
One thing that makes Mike the player that he is, he has a great demeanor about him. He sure is a cool customer. Sometimes in life if that's the way you appear, even if you're not, it makes everybody else comfortable and allows you to do your job better. I think he's a great competitor. |
Overall, we feel the one quarterback is a specialty package [with Underwood]. We use two quarterbacks to play the position because we feel they both bring different talents to the table. |
