... I didn't see any letdown on our part. |
Even though there wasn't much difference between the two teams, we feel good about being 2-0. We might not be a good-looking 2-0, but we're still 2-0. Now we just need to make sure that we use tonight's experience to be a better football team. |
He's good. He can scramble. They run the option with him and they use him in the shotgun formation. He makes it happen for them. |
I liked the way the kids prepared for this week. |
Last week we enjoyed playing in front of a large homecoming crowd at home. This week, we're going to a place where we won't have the crowd on our side. It'd be nice to ride some momentum (into the game). Realistically, we're playing a very tough opponent that's riding some momentum of their own. |
Normally, it's Jimmy Parsons making the offensive line look good. Last week, it was the offensive line making Jimmy look good. It was their best game as an unit that they've had. As a head coach, you're very happy to see that. |
That was a key play. That gave us a big lift and some momentum going into halftime. We needed to keep them out of the end zone. |
They have a lot of people back (from last year). They believe they're a better football team, and they're playing with some confidence now that they have a win under their belt. |
They have three running backs who are very good. They've all rushed for at least 300 yards. One's a sophomore, one is a junior and one is a senior. Each of them has their own style and they're very effective. |
They want to be a big-play offense. It's a high-risk offense, but they're having some success with it. They want to strike with the big play. |
They've been a bit of a thorn to us over the years. |
They've showed that they can play with anybody. |
We had a couple of turnovers, a couple of penalties and a couple of missed assignments, and that's when the game got really tight. But at the end of the game, our kids deserved some credit for rising to the occasion. I'm proud that we didn't let go of the rope. I would like to have less mistakes and I would like to execute better, but again, we're walking away with a win. |
We had our hands full with him last year. He's a good player. But it looks like they have a fair number of playmakers. |
We need to be able to handle good hitters and physical teams. We've got to be able to have an answer for that. I'm concerned that we need to do a better job of moving the ball. |
