compliment compliments excellent good
Defensively, it was kind of frustrating. I have to compliment their quarterback. He did such a good job. What an excellent competitor.
averages due eventually felt good law sure swing
I felt the law of averages would eventually swing back your way. We were due for something good to happen, and sure enough, it happened.
assignment ball boundary busting covering deep entire gave good outside played positions route secondary solid somebody tackled wheel
I thought the secondary played solid and good the entire day. The one deep wheel route we gave up on our boundary was somebody else outside of the secondary busting an assignment and not covering their guy. They tackled well for the most part, their positions on the ball and challenging in many coverage, I thought, were really pretty good.
business good
I'm not much of a rooter. They're two really good teams. I don't get into anybody's business but mine.
actions assuming consider entertain game good justify quit reason seen shows status team until
No status right now. It's not something I said I'd even consider until after the (TCU) game. It's after the game and I haven't seen him. So, I'm assuming he's quit the team for good and until I know different, we'll see. I won't entertain anything until he shows he has a good reason or he can justify what his actions have been.
committed game good job run stopping
They have always really committed to the run game and stopping the run. They do a good job of it.
good guys improvement snaps ton
I feel like we're making good improvement up there. The good thing is that those guys are out there everyday. They're getting a ton of snaps and that will make them better.
definitely good passing
He handles it well and, I'll tell you, he has good hands. He catches the ball. He'll definitely be more a part of our passing offense.
chance fighting fights-and-fighting good pushing work
I know what will be written, but we're a work in progress, ... We're fighting that. We're going to keep pushing and making improvements each week, and if we do that, we have a chance to have a good team.
ball both discipline good physical players sides strong win
On both sides of the ball I see strong discipline, very good schemes, and players that play in a physical way. They play hard. That's why they win so often.
critics-and-criticism deserve easy goes guy jump records stand time track
It's easy to jump on one guy when something goes wrong. Hey, that's fine. We deserve the criticism, but track records over time also stand for something.
blew limiting people practices six stress trying
It's just unfortunate. People didn't know it, but he had that stress fracture for about six weeks. (We were) taping it, limiting practices here and there trying to get him through it, and then it just blew up on him.
coming fairness finds rumors saying
I probably shouldn't have said (Monday), but everyone finds out anyway. .... In fairness to him, it probably doesn't need to be me coming out and saying that. In the end, that's the situation, and it's better than all the rumors being around about it.
easiest fighting fights-and-fighting looking offensive
I think you're always looking for guys, especially in the offensive line, that are just tough, hard-working, fighting guys. That's what you look for. It's not always the easiest thing to find.
