Hopefully, Mike will bounce back this week. He's a great competitor who wants to do well. I look for him to get better. |
Technically, he was not as good as he's been. |
Was I surprised [at being behind at the half]? Nothing surprises me in football nowadays. I would like to have been ahead but it was a good test for our team. It challenged them in staying together and not losing focus. They came back out in the second half and did a nice job. |
We needed to go back to square one and teach them. What's it feel like to score? What's it feel like to hold somebody (on defense). So we brought the chains out … and we tried to simulate as close as we could a game. Hopefully it helped. |
We're thankful for the opportunity Connecticut is giving to us. It's great for recruiting and obviously it helps bring some money to the program as well. |
