I thought that was a great hustle play. That was a great example of making a major difference in a game. |
I was just looking for the best person out there. I know he's a fabulous guy, and I think he's a great coach. I heard a lot about him, and in the interview it was all confirmed. |
I was surprised (by his ability) at first, but I'm not anymore. |
I would never have believed he would be that good. He's completing 70 percent of his passes? That's just ridiculous. |
I'm disappointed I won't have the opportunity to coach Brandon for a year or two more. This does, however, open up an opportunity for someone else to step up and make an immediate contribution. |
I'm glad he made that decision if he didn't feel good about (the play), ... I thought we might get the first down and take it down even farther. But the quarterback has the ball in his hands. He makes those final decisions about throwing it. When he told me that I said, 'I'm not going to argue with that.' |
I'm hoping that our schedule has toughened us up. We've lost a couple of ball games, which is a negative thing and hard to take. Those losses, they hurt. But at the same time, if you can grow from those things ... if we're truly becoming battle-tested, that can be a very good thing. |
If we are consistent (in the running game) and grow there we'll be that much better in the passing game. We are going to find other guys who are play-makers out there. That will be the big issue offensively. We are strong in the interior, and we need to see who comes to the forefront at receiver. |
It boils down to we have a team with a plethora of talent, but we have to play with heart all the time. We didn't do that. |
It doesn't take him a lot of effort to get the ball down the field, and that's a big issue. |
It helps show students that with hard work, things that they want to do are attainable. |
It was a desperate thing to do. |
It was a fortunate thing in that we were where we were and these kids were able to find us. |
It was a long process, ... I didn't want a transfer quarterback who first of all wasn't a good guy and secondly, couldn't compete for the job. When we thought both those things were there, we went after him. |
It was an amazing play. It was a big day for us, we needed to get this win. ... Matt made a good play to get away from the rush, and those two guys played football. |
