cut five four game hits people per saturday sooner
We have to cut down on some of the hits on the quarterback. We know when people keep blitzing, they're going to get to you sometimes, but we can't go four and five sacks per game every Saturday because sooner or later, somebody's going to hit Bret from the blindside.
few keys last surely
One of the keys is for us to go over and make it a four-quarter game. If we can do that, then we'll have a shot. We've done it here in Ames the last few times, but we surely haven't over there.
earned question top
There's no question he's one of the top recruiters on my staff. He's earned this.
beginning defense exact helps mindset tempo
There's nothing magical. They're just things we do, variances of drills we do. It's not always the exact same thing, but it's always a tempo setter at the beginning of practice. It helps our defense get in the mindset of being aggressive.
defensive desert ended last starter time whether worked
Dobbins can be much better than last year. At this time last year, we didn't know where Dobbins would play - whether it would be as a starter or a backup. We didn't desert him; we worked with him, and he ended up being defensive newcomer of year.
brought involved risk somebody wrong
I know there's real risk involved in this. Something could go wrong and somebody will say we should have never brought him back.
bringing good impact positive program regret
I don't regret bringing him back. This program had an impact on him in a lot of positive ways. He did some good things for us, but he also did some things to really tarnish our program.
bad country division frustrates poor puts send staff start time upsets
It's poor judgment. We got off to a bad start and it sickens me, it upsets me, it disappoints me and it frustrates me. There's not a Division I staff in the country that puts in more time to send the message.
great
It's a great day to be a Cyclone.
assure coming goals good help improve iowa overall state trying
The administration at Iowa State has been very good overall about trying to help me, but I can assure you one of my first goals with the new administration coming in here is to try to improve everything for my staff.
cut fact gap iowa last north past state year
Last year it was a fact that there was a gap between the North and South. But there have been years in the past when the North has dominated. I know that Iowa State is going to do everything we can to cut down on the disparity between the North and South.
bring game
If we bring our 'B' game or our 'C' game, it's going to be a long day for the Cyclones.
eight iowa program sixth stay win
It's a big win for all of us at Iowa State. Sixth in eight years (against Iowa). I think we have a program that is here to stay for a long time.
time
It's been a long time coming. It's about time, I guess.
