It wasn't their speed; it was that we didn't execute. I really thought it was more us. We just couldn't get our sync going, or our rhythm. We didn't come out and play our usual game today. |
It will be a four-quarter game. No question, |
It'll be a great challenge and experience for our players. Having not been in a bowl a year ago, I know our players are excited. However, I know going against a team like Michigan will help us prepare for next year. This game means a lot to us. |
It's amazing how it all worked out, ... It was shocking. If you told me on Super Bowl Sunday that I'd be the head coach here, I would have said I don't think there's a possibility. I just think it's very fortunate that the circumstances worked out at the right time. |
It's fairly safe to say that an African-American coach with a record like that wouldn't immediately be handed the keys to one of the most prestigious programs in America. |
It's important for us to establish a lead. They want to limit your possessions and make it a four-quarter game. |
It's not severe. It's what they call moderate. We backed him down. Hopefully, he'll be back Saturday or Monday. |
K-State is a true sleeper in every sense of the word. You just can never discount Bill Snyder. |
Naturally, the guys want to win, |
Oh, no. No. I was frustrated and emotional. There was no malicious intent toward anyone or any referee. |
Our defense didn't let them get into their sets too often. Changing our sets we had them confused often. |
Our motivation is really internal. This is a team that loves to play football and that loves to win. That is always our goal here and that is always our motivation to win. Our team is of that mindset. We really focus on what we need to do and we really don't pay much attention to what is out there or what other teams are doing. |
Someone is making a big deal out of something that's nothing, ... I really don't know what you're talking about. |
Something definitely needs to be done about this. This is just not good for any neighborhood. |
That (would have been) bad sportsmanship to have put her back in. I would have loved for her to get the record, but we don?t run our program that way. |
