We made up our mind that we would put Devin Fentress over there so that we wouldn't have to be in a position where we couldn't use King exclusively on offense, ... If something happens over there, you run out of options sooner or later. |
We never even got Danny to visit. I went over to the high school to see him, and he said, 'Coach, you've got Rocco. I can't beat out Rocco.' That's the way recruiting goes, so I never got a shot at him. |
We probably should have kicked away from him except for the fact that I didn't want to pooch it and give it to them at the 35- or 40-yard line. |
We really are getting better, ... That doesn't mean we are great. We are just a pretty good football team right now. |
We really were pretty darn good offensively, |
We should've just power-kicked it to the other side. He hurt us. |
We took out Rush because he had a couple of bad plays and put Shipley in. But we had intended to play Shipley some. |
We wanted to get the young kids involved early in the game. We decided to go deep early because we wanted South Florida to be aware of how fast those young kids are. |
We were ahead. I didn't want to do a lot of dumb things and give them an easy one, ... I thought we played the game the way we'd like to play. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably play the game the same way. I don't know what I could tell you that I'd do differently. |
We were in good defensive position, ... They made a play and beat us. |
We will have a chance to look at some kids in the summer who might influence where we go. What we play will be determined by how many kings we have and how many pawns we have. |
We would like to prove to the Big Ten that we can still play with them. |
We're certainly in position to be a good defensive football team, ... Offensively, we have to be better. We have to make big plays. |
We're going to be there with I imagine 110,000 people or 109,000 people against a good football team that I am sure is not happy with what happened to them against Minnesota. This will be a really tough challenge for us. |
We're going to work and try to get the right combination and maybe one of these days, we'll walk off the field and say 'I think we are a good football team, |
