beat bit box coming extra hit kept leave people played run stop team vulnerable
When you have to play extra people in the box to stop his run it's going to leave you a bit vulnerable to the pass. I thought he played hard. He kept getting hit and beat up and kept coming back. And his team won.
coming defense game goes good harder kept wear
Good defenses will wear on you. Our defense just kept coming after them and as the game goes on, good defenses are harder to go against.
believe group kept known looking maybe playing revealed
I've always known this group has character, but you know, maybe it was revealed again, with them being down, you know, it not looking so wonderful. But they kept playing and they believe in each other.
ball battle behind changed continued extremely face fell game great hands heck john kept kids lead michigan playing proud staff teams until week
As you know, we had a heck of a ball game with Michigan State, ... John L. (Smith) and his staff did a great job. The lead changed hands often in that game, two teams playing extremely hard, and like we face each week in the Big Ten, it was a battle down until the end. I'm real proud of the way our kids continued to play. We fell behind (but) we kept going after it and I'm very proud of them.
coming defense kept kids offense played plays second stepped
As you could see, our kids played hard. Every second is important. Our defense kept coming after them. Our offense made some big plays and they stepped up and made those big plays.

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.
anytime good learned nice ourselves played players saw step surprise veterans work younger
I think we learned some things about ourselves today. We saw some good things and we saw some things we need to work on. We didn't play a lot of our veterans because we know what they can do. It was nice to see some of our younger players step up and make plays. I thought we really played hard, but that didn't surprise me. Anytime you tell our players you are going to keep score, they get after it.
college football fortune gives good great people
I think it's very exciting. It gives college football a great jump-start into the '05 season. We have the good fortune that a lot of people know who we are and who the Longhorns are.
aware charge confidence defend defense example plays running stepping steps
I think Troy is aware of what stepping up and running can do to a defense, but he's also aware of what it can do if he steps up and, all of a sudden, distorts where the defense is going and makes (pass) plays from there. It is an example that he has more confidence and is in charge out there. While he's got the ball, you better defend the run and the pass.
bit checking closest distracted eye internet interviews keeping people recruiting sure talking understand
I think the recruiting process, with all the Internet interviews and people checking up to see what things are said about them on the Internet, I think it's distracted young people a little bit. I'm not sure it's what they should be keeping their closest eye on, but I understand when someone's talking and you're one of the subjects, you're a little bit interested.
consistency consistent football goal needs offensive stick team whatever
I think consistency is always the measuring stick to see if you're going to get good. Our goal is to become a consistent offensive football team that does its part and whatever needs to be done to win.
