fact good michigan remember simple team teams year
I think it is as simple, just a simple fact that they're pretty good and always have (been). I think if you take a look at every other team in the league, there has been some slipping. Some teams have slipped and had years when they've had down years, but I can't remember a year when Michigan has been down. Their down years are pretty good years.
changes knows recognize
Someone knows it's not right, or someone doesn't recognize it, a linebacker doesn't recognize a shift, changes it to another formation and then they get confused.
half playing second
We just weren't the same in the second half without him. No one is playing as well as he is.
correct game mistakes plan team totally type week
You have to correct mistakes and just show where we had breakdowns. A lot of it was communication. That's something that we'll have to correct and go back to fundamentals. You've got a totally different game plan this week and a different type of team that you're defending.

We are sincerely apologetic for the traffic flow problems that fans encountered Saturday on the lower west concourse. The safety of our customers and providing good customer service is our No. 1 priority.
coaches conversation fast problem scoring sidelines time
We were scoring so fast a lot of the times, there wasn't a lot of time on the sidelines for the coaches to get enough conversation to know what the problem was, before they were back on the field.
asked good help jump man press week
We asked them to jump up in there and play press man and I thought they did a pretty good job. I think it will help them. Every week they should get a little better.
athletic both bunch chance win
We didn't play particularly well and still had a chance to win both of those games. They're very athletic (teams) and they do have a lot of speed, but we're not a bunch of slugs in this league.
beat good half throwing tyler
Tyler can beat you with his feet. We didn't give him a lot of throwing opportunities, but I thought the one just before half (to Randle El) was well-anticipated. I thought (Donovan) did some real good things.
beaten football good
We were beaten by a very good football team.
beaten both football good great penn sides solid team
We were beaten by a good football team today. They're solid on both sides of the ball. My hat's off to Penn State, they're a really great football team.
use using-me committees
Most search committees use me.
memories kids games
I love bowl games. I really do. I like it more than the kids do. I grew up a poor kid in western Pennsylvania, and I went to Nebraska because I saw them play in the Orange Bowl and I wanted to play in a bowl game. I cherish the memories.
player hype people
This bowl has lived up to all the hype that I heard of it. Coaches...that have been here rave about the hospitality, rave about the venue and all the activities for the players. The people here have been marvelous. The bowl committee has bent over backwards to make sure that our stay is an excellent one. The players have something to do if they choose every day. You couldn't find a better place.
