guess passing run stop
We couldn't stop the run or the passing game. I guess I'm not shocked, but I'm disappointed in the outcome.
based best boot clearly guys haunt haunted knowing kyle maybe picked running sleep
To this day, I'd still have Kyle Orton running that boot on the corner, by himself, clearly having picked up the first down. It doesn't haunt me. I sleep well at night, knowing we did the best thing we could do under the circumstances. Based on what some of the other guys (on the team) say, maybe that haunted them.

We needed to do something to get the ball in his hands as a runner as well as a passer, ... We wanted to take advantage of his athleticism and his ability to get out in space and make some plays.
balance eight indicator last lean offense practicing run spend spread time week
I don't think what we did last week is an indicator of what we're going to do for the balance of the season. We will lean a little more heavily on the run than we did when I got here eight years ago. We're still a one-back, spread offense and we spend a lot of time practicing the pass.
running
You're going to be surprised, but we're not running that much option,

I think we're going to run a couple of options, but I don't see us going out there and running 40 option plays in a game. We're still a spread offense, and we're going to throw it around.

defense effort flying looking number offense overall stepped
I thought our defense stepped up. We had a number of takeaways, which is what we are looking for, and for the most part we were flying to the ball. Not that the offense didn't score, but overall it was a much better effort by the defense.

defensive ends matt programs roth starter
I think the two programs are very close. But they've had (recently graduated) Matt Roth as a four-year starter at defensive end and he's a big defensive end. Our defensive ends had been undersized defensive ends. Now, we've got big defensive ends.
