I can't fault the way we played in the second half. We never quit, we kept going at it. You can't ask for anything more. |
I love my job. It's not easy all the time, but God never told me it would be easy. |
I thought it was a good event. I'm not displeased. I thought that we had a pretty decent crowd. Obviously it wasn't as large as South Carolina State. But hopefully the city of Columbia and the people of South Carolina will see that this is a very viable game, and they'll decide they will come out and support these young people. This is a very good game. |
It's simple, if you don't tackle you can't win. Our defense played poorly tonight and it showed in the end. We didn't attack anyone tonight. |
Somehow, they have become our conference rival, and we're opening the season with them, so I'm expecting a good, hard-fought game. |
Sometimes last year, we just didn't seem to be together as a team. |
The offense played well tonight, but we still have things to work on. |
The problem with Tremaine was not so much with him as it was with his receivers dropping passes. We had two games in a row where we had six dropped balls. If you add those up, he's 10-for-14 with 200-something yards passing. |
There's no question about Tremaine being the catalyst for our offense. He's going to have to be the steadying force on the field. We have guys who will have to be factors who haven't played a whole bunch. Tremaine is going to have to be the guy that, when things aren't going right, will steady the boat and exhibit the leadership qualities he possesses. |
They do command a good share of the waters in the rivers in the Front Range. |
This is just another step. We're still trying to grow this program. We're not where we used to be, but we're by no means where we want to be ... and this is just a step in us trying to get grown. |
This is probably, in terms of talent, the best team I've had since I've been here. |
We got to get things going on the other side of the ball. |
We want to do a good job of not letting them run the football against us. If we let them run the football, we're going to have a long day. |
We're just going to play our defense. The defense is designed to keep (an opponent) from passing. No matter who you are, we are always going to play our defense. We always have five defensive backs in the game. |
