Any college quarterback is the coach on the field on game day, that's why he's there, and that's the faith I have in him. I thought, overall, even with the turnovers, he did a real, real good job leading our team. |
He has a great presence on the field. He gives us a little bit more of a throwing threat and he made some real good decisions and did some real nice things for his first start. |
He's a leader, not just in statistics, but a true leader on our football team. He leads by example. He's not a rah-rah guy. He's got a real sense of maturity about him. He leads and people follow. He's the kind of kid that makes coaching worthwhile. That's how we all feel about him, and he's having a great year on top of it, individually. |
They weren't exactly what we thought they would be. |
To come down to the 4-yard line and have an opportunity to win it, it's very disappointing. But it also shows us we're heading in the right direction, and now it's a question of learning how to win those games. In the opener [a 21-17 home win over Wilkes], we found a way to win it on defense, and now we have to find a way to win close games like that on offense. |
