We were OK at the half. They didn't have the ball much, and I didn't think there were any major things we had to correct. ... I would have been pleased to play like we did in the first half.
ball challenge gives likes since speed wants
Brandon gives us someone with speed who likes the challenge and wants the ball in his hands. He has been a playmaker for us ever since we've had him.
adding ball create move seen watching
The thing that I've seen in watching him ... is they just keep adding to the package. They have more and more and more things that you have to defend. They really create a lot of problems. That's why they'll move the ball on everyone.

We thought we could get some deep balls with him,
ball both built executing game management momentum next playing plus prepared run sides
I thought just the management of the game, making adjustments on the run and executing on both sides of the ball as well as playing all the young guys, I think all those things are good. I think just the way they prepared for a game like this and went out and executed it. Just a lot of things were built on. Plus we got some momentum going into next week.
ball carried exactly expecting extremely john practiced saw thrown
John has practiced very well. He has thrown the ball extremely well through practice. You always like to see it carried over to the game. That's exactly what I saw - what I was expecting to see.

We don't talk about that. To be in the mix is good this late in the season, but I hope our guys are all smart enough to figure out it's about (Purdue) this week. All the focus is on this week, and no further than this week.

Well, we were beaten by a very good football team today. They are very solid on both sides of the ball.

We've had great ones and we've had Heisman Trophy winners. This guy is special, and I think he showed that.

Our special teams have been playing very well and they've given us tremendous effort. I wanted to reward someone, acknowledge someone who exemplified the effort that we look for in a special team - and that's what Zach has done.
second time
I think I'll take a little time and go down to our place in Naples, Fla., before going back for the second semester.
couple defense everybody looked runs speed
I think his speed really showed up today. A couple of those runs their defense had things cornered, it looked like they had the right leverage. He just outran everybody to the end zone.

I think his president wanted to keep it confidential and go through the process without it being a public issue. But he was offered the job officially yesterday and accepted and contacted me right away.
cost game joe mentioned seen three tough written
I think Joe has mentioned it and I've seen it written before, that our game may have cost them two or three games. They couldn't get that game out of their system, it was such a tough loss.
