capitalize played work
We really didn't play like ourselves. We didn't really capitalize on anything. I don't think we played as well as we could and that is what we need to work on.
certainly fun gets higher involved juices personally stakes success
One thing about having success is that the stakes get higher each and every game. That's fun to be involved with here at Rutgers again. It's been a while for me personally and it certainly gets the juices flowing.
cool demeanor everybody great job life mike player sure
One thing that makes Mike the player that he is, he has a great demeanor about him. He sure is a cool customer. Sometimes in life if that's the way you appear, even if you're not, it makes everybody else comfortable and allows you to do your job better. I think he's a great competitor.
goal plays running sure
We need to make sure they get all the right reps, not just reps. Our goal is to make sure we're running the right plays for our quarterbacks to get better and see what they need to see.
coach hard pointing smart work year
I've never had a make-or-break year in my life. I'm going to coach football, it's what I do. This program, to me, everything is pointing in the right direction. So we're going to work as hard as we can and be as smart as we can.
competition head keeps man mature ray talk
Ray is a mature young man. You can talk to him like a man and he listens. And there's competition. Competition always keeps everyone's head on straight.
across country football games half lost move second seemed won
Things went our way in the first half, and it seemed we could do no wrong. In the second half it was tougher. But that's the way football games are won and lost across the country every week. In the end it was 37-29 Rutgers, and we move on.
stem tide zone
Sometimes you make a play like that interception in the end zone and you stem the tide and find a way to win. We interfered.
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.
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.
attitude chopping direction entire game momentum points swung team time wood
There were points in the game where the momentum could have swung in the other direction. It was the first time the entire team had a fighting, chopping wood attitude the entire game.
adjust game heck prepare run team
They're a team we really don't know a heck of a lot about so we just need to prepare for everything and adjust on the run as the game evolves.
biggest bowl complete football foundation guys laid move program
This is not a one-year stint; they laid the foundation for our football program to move forward. My biggest disappointment is for those guys because I wanted them to complete the experience, to be a bowl champion, not just a bowl participant. It's something that hasn't been done around here for 27 years. We'll be back.
backs beauty bringing competition everybody good head keeps knows running
Competition always keeps your head on straight. He knows Dimitri (Linton) is a good running back. He knows we're bringing in one of the better running backs in the country. That's the beauty of competition, right? It keeps everybody pressing on.
