expected few fire isolated
(If) it was just an isolated fire, it would be done in a few minutes. I never expected it to be this big.
offense spread throwing using weapons
If you've got an offense where you're only throwing to two people, you're not using all your weapons like you should. It's called a spread offense, not because the formations are spread, but because the ball's being spread all over the place.
coming defense drove establish game great guys hats plan run stuck
It was great tonight. Our big guys up front, hats off to them. They just drove the defense back. Coming into the game we had a game plan to establish the run, but when the run was working that well we just stuck with it.
adjust ball certain defense dictates five guys plays receiver route running specific throws whereas whoever
So many of these plays are set plays, where it's five guys running their specific route and the quarterback throws the ball to whoever the defense dictates is going to get the ball. Whereas in the past, it was each receiver would do certain things to adjust his route to try to get open.

carry dues expect feeling focused football intense knowing needed paid pay player players supposed team work
There's a big mind-set difference. The mind-set comes from the way you work and the way you practice. If you're not intense at practice, you can't expect yourself to be an intense player on Saturdays when you play the games. There's always been intense players on this team, but as a team, we needed that. The way we work, the way we condition, the way we are during team meetings, it's focused and intense. And I know it's going to carry over to the football field. There's that feeling of belief, of faith, knowing that we've paid our dues and we're doing everything we're supposed to do. It's going to pay off.
ballgame fired fix mistakes
We have to be upbeat, find the things that we made mistakes on and fix them and go into this ballgame fired up.
chip coming good knew practice prove shoulder
We had a chip on our shoulder coming into practice. We wanted to prove something, because we knew how good we were.
board few looked matter points yards
Yards and touchdowns don't matter at all when you lose, ... When I went back and looked at the film, if I had done a few more things better, we could have put more points on the board and won.
knowing stuff
We were confident, knowing we'd come back. I thought we were going to win it. Stuff happens.
