added ball dimension giving good jeremy pull runner
Jeremy has come a long way, and he's giving us that added dimension of being a good runner by being able to pull the ball down and make some plays.
asked clothes found left near run town wash
We found a big ol' washeteria near here, so we'll be making a run to wash clothes (Sunday), ... Some of the kids, they left town with only one set of clothes, so they asked if they could go to Wal-Mart shopping. We'll be doing some of that.
ball run vulnerable
They run the ball really well. That's something that we've been vulnerable to this year.
hard played playing pleased room run second
We played hard and I was pleased with our effort. We didn't do some things very well. After playing the run well in the first half, we didn't play it well in the second half. There is a lot of room for improvement.
bad block chance few running smart
I don't think (the running backs) did a bad job. We didn't run smart a few times. One time, we had a chance to make a big play, and we didn't set a block up. If we run smart, we had a chance to make a big play.
football good hurt running
Their quarterback really had a good game. He really hurt us running the football.
access advantage close easy game great location monitor practice progress stay work
I think it's really going to be a work in progress all year, ... But we really have a great advantage with our location so close to Tulsa that access is so easy for any game or practice to monitor and stay in touch.
certainly change competition early expect good
I think there's good competition there, but it's early in the spring, too. I know we had way too many interceptions (the first week), but I certainly expect that to change this week.
good jeremy majority series springs three
Jeremy will get the majority of the reps. He's had a real good spring. I think all three have had good springs and we would like to get them at least one series with the first offense.
ahead longer practice
Jeremy's a little ahead right now. He's been here longer and got more experience. Right now, he's been the better practice player.
expect good physical players spring worked
I think everyone will be excited. It'll be competitive. We've had a good, physical spring and our players have worked hard. So I expect a good day Saturday.
adversity arms bowl city everybody gone home hosting opening orleans teams thankful
With all the adversity that everybody in New Orleans has gone through, I'm thankful to the city of Lafayette for opening their arms up to this bowl and hosting this game. Because if those things don't happen, there are two teams that are at home today.
brought encouraged excited families guys number players relief south stay sustained team total touch
We've got over 35 guys from Hattiesburg or south of there. A number of our players' families have sustained total or substantial loss. We encouraged them to stay in touch with them. I think this has brought our team together. They're excited to play a game. I think it was a relief to get back on the field. I didn't know what to expect, but it the players were like kindergartners.
blown chimney people roof water
Our chimney was blown off and part of our roof was damaged, and we had some water damage. But there have been many more people shaken than we are, of course.
