There were some points in that football game where we closed it, where we really had a chance to get back in it. But we couldn't make the plays at that point to get it done. |
There's always going to be that. He hasn't even practiced with the (first or second units). Hopefully, he'll regain it quickly. |
They play hard and they play fast. We have to be prepared to match it. |
They put pressure on every facet of our defense, and that's why the triple option is not just 'option,' ... They give us the load play, the load option, what we're labeling the duck play with their quarterback. They give you the fly sweep with the slot back coming around. There are so many things they give you that come along with the option. They put pressure everywhere |
They'll still have the same referendum, |
This football game's important just as the last one was important, ... ... When you get to the game, it's a football game. |
This group, if it is to be the case, is the best of its time. Other teams are the best of their time. That is with genuine respect of both the present and the past ... winning that many games in a row is special. They put themselves in that special category. |
This is a great opportunity for these guys to prepare themselves for the next level. You want to do everything possible to make sure that they're getting that type of experience, yet at the same time, be relaxed and have fun. It falls on us as coaches to make sure the organization and everything is set for them to have fun. |
This is a group that I think will make this football team a better team, and that is the goal we set out with. |
This is a very, very good football team. That is a football team that understands how to win. When they have an opportunity, they know how to take advantage of it. |
Three years to break a decade-long string of mediocrity or I'm out? Thanks, but no thanks. |
Touchdown Jesus: Faith and Fandom at Notre Dame |
We couldn't get a stop and we just couldn't make those plays. Cal made some mistakes today ... but they were playing at such a high level and with such confidence. |
We had a series of mistakes, like someone was looking for someone else to do something. |
We have a better understanding of our young men, so I label that an improvement of where we were a year ago. |
