coach consistency drive finish football good great last offensive run second start wilder word
Consistency is the word Coach Wilder has used. We didn't come out with a great start last week. We had a real run of explosiveness in the second quarter, but didn't finish some things after that. Play the play. Drive the drive. We have what we think is the makings of a good offensive football team. We need consistency.

We really recognize how well they're playing the game defensively. They have some very good players at linebacker. They don't do a lot of things, but are very well coached on the defensive side of the ball.

We're going to keep following that path that we blazed last year. You're going to see a lot more of the spread stuff, trying to take advantage of the field vertically and horizontally, and taking chances trying to get the ball to our best receivers.
