anybody doubt next potential step throws time
I don't think anybody should have any doubt about the way he throws the football, his potential as a quarterback. It's time for him to take the next step in his career.
complete game played
This is probably the most complete game we've played all year.

He never really wavered. Obviously, when you've got a team that played for the national championship three years in a row hammering you, it takes some intestinal fortitude to stand up to that and play close to home where your family can see you play.

It's the reality of our business.

They say one of the greatest forms of flattery is for your son to follow in your footsteps. And so I enjoy that greatest form of flattery, without a doubt.
games play two
...With 9:36 left in the game, in retrospect we might have gone for two because we ended up with three more plays on offense the rest of the game. It's a lot easier looking back and analyzing going for two.
tight
We're going to make a tight end out of you, yet.
across strong
There are no weaknesses. You go position-by-position with them, and they are strong across the board.
