Honestly, I look forward to a regular week, |
Hopefully, we will mix it up with just the right combination of run and pass. |
I actually thought we were going to win in overtime. I couldn't believe that we didn't win the game. |
I anticipated that our defense would give Miami fits. But our offensive line really put together a great game. |
I can tell you this. We're going to look at that again and again and again, and we're going to get it corrected. I know specifically on one holding penalty that I'll not mention, but I'm coming after somebody. |
I did enjoy pro football, it's the highest level of competition, it's exciting and it's the finest football in the world, ... But I enjoy the calling of a college coach. |
I did enjoy the things that I was doing because I was doing some things differently, ... 'This is my idea.' And I wanted to make that work and there was some of that going on and there was the enjoyment of work ethic. |
I don't care about what's being written in the paper. I don't read the [Internet] message boards. I don't care at all. |
I don't know if I've been around a quarterback who has the ability to throw the ball like he does. If continues to make the right decisions and maintain ball security, he can be a great quarterback. |
I don't know that you block things out in the scope of the magnitude of loss here, |
I don't really know how Buster will be. He's been banged up all year. I don't know exactly when he'll return to health. He could have played some Saturday. |
I don't want to discount that as the only reason but it certainly contributed. Their (Arizona State's) offense is pretty good. They've always thrown the ball extremely well. The quarterback threw some balls into receivers that were covered very well. There were two opportunities to get picks that went right through our hands. Had we done things differently we may have had an opportunity at a couple more. It was the kind of game had we executed people would have come off saying look at all the turnovers we'd gotten. |
I enjoy those expectations, |
I feel really bad for Alley. He worked so hard this summer and put himself in a position to have a great fall. I'm disappointed for Alley as well as the entire team. We were really looking forward to seeing him in the backfield this fall. |
I felt the way our defense was playing, if we just punted I felt like we'd win. This football team has a lot in front of it. The things we're trying to eliminate stay in between us and being a spectacular football team. Right now, we're just a sloppy team on offense. |
