Brandon has got to learn one thing — he doesn't have to do it on his own. Sometimes living to punt when you're on offense is the best thing. We've got a chance. That's all you want when you start the year. Anybody on our schedule, we have an opportunity to beat. Will we do it? We'll find out. |
But you've still got to be able to run on them some. Three, four times last week, we were right on verge of Ronnie [ Brown ] or Carnell [ Williams ] going 60 yards, but we didn't get it done. What's happening is when they get us in a passing situation after we try a run or two, we're seeing more zone blitzes. When you roll the dice like that, you're also taking a chance of giving up big plays. We've dropped a couple passes that could have been big plays. |
Calhoun is the kind that makes you miss and the type of back that we look for. He has very good vision like Carnell Williams and can see the hole and make the cut. He knows how to run inside and in the open field. He's fun to watch on film. |
Coach Price's defense won again. Coach Knox was struggling to get any movement at the line of scrimmage and didn't get any points on the board. |
Defensively, all our speed showed up. Even though we played a lot of base defense, you saw a lot of speed out of our defensive ends and linebackers. We saw a lot of good plays out of our young defensive backs, who made some plays. I thought David Irons played good. |
Defensively, we tackled a little bit better than we did last Saturday. Today was a day when we handled the offense. But we can play much better defensively than we did. |
Devin and Ben are going to be back and forth, |
Down in Florida, at least we could go north and get away from it. You hear on TV where it's going to be a week or a month before maybe getting electricity. (But) you're looking at years to when this place is going to be back anywhere near what it was. |
Everybody was scattered out. It took a good week to get everybody in the mode of really wanting to practice and go on with the season, |
First-year players are going to see things at a different speed. They'll make mistakes. Hopefully, they will correct them. It may take two or three games. Last week we had a lot of upperclassmen make mistakes. |
For all of us, we want to enjoy the bowl. We obviously want to win. We think it's a jump start for next season. |
Give Wisconsin credit because they are a very good football team. |
He did a great job running to the football. We've got a lot of speed. We've just got to make sure we're in the right positions. |
He did an excellent job as our defensive coordinator this past season, and I know he'll continue to be successful in the future. |
He doesn't make mistakes, |
