He's consistently showing up around the ball and making plays. |
I don't know if it matters. It might help the perception some, but it doesn't change the football. |
I think they do a tremendous job offensively. They take diversified to a whole other level . . . They have so many different ways to attack you and have so many looks, it makes preparing for them very difficult. |
It sends a message, so far as commitment. You can talk about it and talk about it, but actions speak louder than words. This says we're moving forward. |
It's something different than what we normally see and something difficult to prepare for in one week. You've got to change your focus defensively to cover assignments and put people in the right places. |
Last year, they played really tough and they've got most of those people back, including their quarterback. It should be an exciting game. |
Marshall had an excellent surface. The artificial surfaces now are as good or better than grass. |
There was a lot of encouraging things that came out of it. But we still made too mistakes. We still missed too many tackles. |
Time will tell. Different team. Different makeup. Different setting. Some things you come out of the [Marshall] game feeling good about. I felt good that we were able to run the football. Defensively, I thought we played the run pretty darn well. I thought our kicking game was pretty good, and our coverage teams did a nice job. That's good, but we didn't take advantage of some situations. |
We're going to have good quarterback play at some point in time. Everyone else has got to be sure they're taking care of their part. |
