composure confidence game great looking plays safe throughout
He had great composure and made great plays throughout the game. He was not apprehensive at all. He wasn't looking for some safe game to get his confidence back.
believe bit breeds care confidence felt goes level main mindset self-esteem success team time tried trust
Any time a team goes 1-10, their confidence and self-esteem is low, ... You really have to get that back up and believe in one another. That was the main thing. We just tried to take care of that in-house and get our mindset a little bit better to where they felt like they had a trust level that they could play through anything. Then a little bit of success breeds more success and goes from there.
bit boost coming confidence experience gave
He has done well. He has a little bit of experience from those two games. It probably gave him a little boost of confidence coming into the spring.
ball brings confidence evident game last ran steve table turn
Steve was very efficient. He didn't turn the ball over, he ran the huddle well and he brings a confidence to the table and it's infectious. It was pretty evident last game and it was there today.

adjusting biggest chance learn offense summer
I think it went just fine. We got a chance to learn some of the concepts. The biggest thing was adjusting to the shotgun. We'll take a look this summer how much of that we want to do and how much of the traditional offense we want to do.
couple dropped game pressure starter wait
He was making the right reads, and he had a couple of dropped balls, and another one there was miscommunication with the receiver, so it wasn't all him, ... He put some pressure on himself. Now being the starter will be better for him. He doesn't have to wait his turn. He can go in the game and get the jitters out of the way early.
attitude came care forget positive rest rubs win
He has such a winning, positive attitude. He was one of our first recruits. I'll never forget him saying, 'I came here to win a championship, coach.' He didn't care that they were 1-10 before. His attitude is contagious, and it rubs off on the rest of the kids.
joe shocked struggled
I was a little shocked that Joe struggled like he did,
everybody mean ready time
He didn't play to his potential, by any means, but that doesn't mean he can't play, ... Everybody has a day like that from time to time, and he had it right out of the gate. He's our quarterback, and he'll be ready this week.
holes potential skill spring
There's a lot of potential there. We have some skill and we have some holes to fill. The spring will be really important to us.

They really know what they're doing with the option. There're a lot of things that are unorthodox with the option, and they don't just dabble in it; they know what they're doing.
aaron bunch happen huge kyle learning spoiled throwing
It is a huge learning curve. We have become very spoiled here with expectations with Kyle (Boller) and Aaron (Rodgers) throwing a bunch of BBs all around the field. It doesn't happen overnight.
