coaches cool demeanor everybody great inside life players sure
He really has a great demeanor about him. I can't tell you what's going on inside but to all the players and coaches he sure is a cool customer. Sometimes in life if that's how you appear, even if you're not, it makes everybody else comfortable.
peace
I am very much at peace with where we started, where we are now and where we are going.
biggest nobody stopped
My biggest fear, if there was one, was getting into a shootout. There's been nobody that's really stopped (Arizona State).
belief chance consummate felt gives hard helped mike overall player ryan strong successful team tough
Ryan has been a consummate team player and really helped Mike and helped the offense. We just felt overall that (Teel) gives us a better chance to be a successful offense. It was a tough, tough decision. And if it was that hard and we still did it, there's a strong a strong belief in what Mike Teel can do.
complaints complaints-and-complaining last
I really didn't have any complaints with the way it was last year.
biggest nobody stopped
My biggest fear, if there was one, was getting into a shootout with this team. There's been nobody that's really stopped them.
bowl goal history means since spring win won year
HISTORY' means the goal this year was to go make history and win a bowl game. Rutgers has never won a bowl game. So we'll try to make history. That's been (the goal) since spring ball.
confidence lost ray
I haven't lost any confidence that Ray can do the job. He's fine.
grown ryan trying
Ryan has grown as quarterback in that he really understands what defenses are trying to do to us and he understands his own game.
allowed balance came focus guy incredible mature maturity sights
He's just a guy who came in and was a mature guy. He had his sights set on being the guy. And he has incredible balance and vision, but it was his maturity and focus that allowed him to do that.
beyond fact happen hold naive onto people running start true week
It's only week five. We'd be negligent if we didn't start getting more people ready, because we're running out of people. I'm not naive to the fact that when you play true freshmen, hold onto your hat, there's things that are going to happen that are beyond explanation.
goes last mike secret sure threw
It's no secret Mike threw 10 interceptions last year. We have to find a way to make sure that goes away.
hard judge position skill wind
It was a hard day to judge any skill position with the wind and the rain.
almost becomes bowl college compare event excitement genuine gift players three year
Everything to our players is new, unique, and exciting. When you've been to a bowl every year of your college career, by bowl three or four, you're like, 'OK, that's better than that bowl.' It becomes almost compare and contrast. Right now with us it's like every gift they receive, every event they're scheduled to go to, you see a genuine excitement on their face.
