came credit iowa obviously ready shut talented team weapons
We've just got to come together. We have to play Iowa football. We didn't do that, but give the credit to Iowa State. They came out ready to go. They're obviously a very talented team and they had a lot of weapons and shut us down.
came cover faster move safety saw skills weigh worked
They kind of saw that and I think they really thought I could take my cover skills as a safety and move them to linebacker, and it worked out perfectly. I weigh 245, and I'm actually a lot faster than I was when I came here.
basically came catching college division football men offer played seen tackling time
The first time I ever played 11-man football was when I came to college. It was the first I'd ever seen 11 men on a football field. I never played in an all-star game. My only Division I offer was Iowa. You basically didn't have any choices. You were going there or you didn't, and when I got there, it's not really any different. It's still about tackling and catching and running.
came national
He didn't come here with all this national respect. He didn't have (crap) when he came here, and he made it.
beating florida typical
That was typical of what the refs were doing today. But it's not about that. It's about Florida beating us. They outplayed us today.
credit football iowa prepared shut
We did not play Iowa football and you have to give credit to Iowa State. ISU was prepared and shut us down.
defense mistakes needs satisfied shore team
We're a team that needs to improve. That's what we know we are. We're a team that isn't satisfied with where we're at. We're a team that makes too many mistakes on defense and we need to shore that up.
attention audience credit fact national paying sick start
We're getting sick of the fact that nationally we don't get a lot of credit. I really think the national audience is going to have to start paying attention to us at some time.
couple seems
He seems really tough. A couple of times, I teed off on him, but he got right back up and made a big play.
barks change heart notice
When he does say something to you, you've got to take it to heart. It's not very often that he comes around and barks orders. When he does that, you'd better take notice and change something quick.
adjust blame call certain defense game happen since weird year
We have to adjust our defense to a certain play. We've done it every year since I've been here. It was really ridiculous, the call. You can't blame a game on the ref. You can't do it. It was just really weird to have that call happen because if you adjust your defense you have to do it. What do you want us to do?
coming knows learn player situation
He knows what is right for the situation of a player coming in. He has a feel for it. I don't think you can really learn that. It's kind of innate.
added field guess honestly offense quickly scores seemed walked
We could play another one right now. I honestly didn't know they had that many plays. I walked in here and (a reporter) said they had 101. It seemed like they had 70. I guess they added up (when) the offense scores quickly and we didn't get off the field in some situations.
gone improve stock
Everything has gone well for me this week. I think I've done enough to improve my stock this week.
