Everybody has a role on the team, and some have a role as a scout team player. They have to emulate the offenses that we are going to face. Those players still have to go through the out-of-season work and they work hard.

We were on some of our secondary guys pretty hard this week.

Obviously, we couldn't block them very well, you could see that. We couldn't establish the run and had a hard time with pressure off the edge.
difficult hard pressure quick scheme shotgun
But he's in the shotgun and a lot of it is quick releases. A lot of it is sprint-outs, where it's hard to get to him anyhow. They've devised a scheme where it's difficult to really pressure him. You're not going to get many sacks.
coming empty hard home time
I'd have a hard time coming home to an empty house. That would be very hard for me.

I think it's very important to emphasize that my immediate focus is to coach the 2005 football team and coach them to its fullest potential, ... The thing that I share with the players ... that I would guarantee them that they will have a great effort and great preparation and tremendous focus from myself and our entire staff. They deserve that because they've worked so hard in preparation for this season, and we will not let them down.

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.

I think I'll take a little time and go down to our place in Naples, Fla., before going back for the second semester.

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.
accepted job offered officially president process public yesterday
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.

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.
