kicked
I don't know if they dominated, but they kicked our butts.
attacked proud
I'm real proud of the way he's developed. He's attacked being a quarterback.
analyze game suppose tie time
Any time you can have a big play in the punting game, it's probably the difference. I suppose if you look at the game and really analyze it, it was a tie game other than that.
anytime close far keeping kids love
The kids competed, and anytime you tell them that you are keeping score, they love it. That was as close to game-like as you can get. Now we know more about the capabilities we have, and we know how far we have to go at some positions.
message send wrong
That would have been the wrong message to send to Justin,
saw
I didn't really see it at all. All I saw was there was a big pileup.
based both contribute excited felt time turns
He's a competitor, he was excited out there and he wanted to make up for time missed. We felt that based on preparation and what we're doing, both (quarterbacks) could contribute to a win. As it turns out, when we put the film on, that very well could have happened. But it didn't.
adds college four great history played settings
I think it adds a lot to this game. We've only played four times before in our history and the two great programs, here we are in one of the great settings in college football. I think it adds a little something to the intrigue.
ears gave opportunity outside pinned run teddy
They just pinned their ears back and they were not going to let us outside the edges. They were not going to let Teddy run reverses or those kind of things, which gave us an opportunity to do some other things.
brady sure
I think he's significantly advanced, I'm sure just like Brady is.
awareness drag field game line misses practice
He's smart. He doesn't panic. He has an awareness for the whole field. He can tell by how you line up and who's in the game what may be coming. He's tough. He never misses a practice snap. You have to drag him off the field in games.
focused front guys happy hard proved watched work
All of our guys are happy that we've got that guy. They've watched how hard he's focused this spring, they've watched the work that he's done. He proved that in front of 63,000 going down (the field) on that first drive.
guessing needs people sit team
You sit down and say, 'OK, what is it that our team needs right now?' It's not like we're guessing on people who haven't been around for a long time.
far films guys last opposed positions watching
I think we got a lot accomplished. I think we know more about what the capabilities are of the guys we have and we know even more vividly how far we have to go at some positions as opposed to watching the films of last fall.
