The one thing that we didn't want — and we made it very clear to both quarterbacks — is that we didn't want them to play scared, |
There is no deadline. He's a smart guy. I'm sure he'll figure it out. |
They gave up 10 points. I did not know how it was going to work with all the jumping around we did. As an offensive coach, if a team did that to me, I would just run it. However, that is not their team. |
They were so close. I wasn't even going to do it until the game. The offensive staff was tired of messing with it. They wanted to go ahead and name a starter, so that's fine. |
This is cash . There's no substitute for cash in anything you do. |
Those guys need to make plays and put the pressure on (the Bobcats' offense) so they can't just sit back there and work on these young guys in the secondary. |
We are developing an attitude on defense. We want to be aggressive and we want to fly around. We want to force turnovers. We want to take it to the other team. As the season progresses, we will find out where we are. I like the attitude. |
We discussed it in a mature manner, and he handled it with integrity, |
We don't accept losing, but the way our team fought tonight against what I think is the best team in college football, I was very proud of it. I thought we had excellent game plans on both sides of the ball. They worked for us in the first half, and early in the fourth quarter we got worn down a little bit. |
We feel like he deserves to start the game with what he's done up to this point, and the other guy deserves to play in the game. |
We had the same scheme, everything the same except we didn't hold or push in the back. It set the game up, set the tempo for us. |
We had to pull a guy in that has an unbelievable amount of integrity and character and say that we think that this guy has the potential to be better than you are at this position, |
We have to find out what he can do if we give him lots of reps, ... That's where we as coaches have to make decisions and we go with them and go full speed ahead. |
We knew they were going to make mistakes. We knew they were going to make big plays. We didn't want them to think if they did something wrong they weren't going to get back in forever. |
We look at the problems from the last game and try to get them fixed, but ... none of that really matters any more. What can we do to score enough points to beat Colorado? That's all that matters. |
