level playing point season
I think we still have a way to go. I want to get to the point where we're playing at the level we need to play at. Because very shortly it's going to come down to one game, one play and that's my focus. We need to be at the level where its one play and your season is over.
control game gets liked player playing talented
He was outstanding tonight. I liked how he was able to take control in the huddle, they responded to that. He's a talented player and is playing better every game as he gets more comfortable with what we're doing.
assure exactly playing settle
I told them to settle down and they need to relax. I wanted to assure them that I was under control. They were playing the way I was acting. I am acting. That's exactly what I was doing.

He was outstanding tonight. He brought a great deal of energy. He's a talented player and he's playing better every game.

I'm not so sure mentally we were prepared at the beginning. And that will be addressed.
climb deal good great hard lost mountain played program team tough
I thought our team played with a great deal of effort. We had a tough mountain to try and climb today. We lost to a very good program and I thought we played as hard as we could.
balance changing defense switching throw trying withers zones
I thought our defense was pretty consistent. We wanted to keep changing our defense and going between our zones and switching back to man. We wanted to keep them off balance and we didn't want Withers to get comfortable with our defenses that we were trying to throw at him.
challenged finished guys halftime mike proud step
I challenged Omar, Mike (Hall) and Regis at halftime and told them: 'You haven't scored yet. You guys have got to step up.' And we responded the way we should at home. I was very proud of the way we finished the game.
believe
I also believe that it was competitively motivated.
biggest inside offensive standpoint teams
I would think most teams will try to go inside from an offensive standpoint because we will be down an inside defender. I think that will be the biggest challenge.
improved improving indication last program
That we had improved from last year. The program is improving every year, and that was an indication that we had improved it. This year, we improved our status.
among due experience gate inside lack pops tonight
I thought we got out of the gate pretty early. Pops established our inside presence, which is what we wanted to do tonight due to the lack of experience among their inside guys.
coming great maybe means middle reflect season stretch tough
It's great for the fans; I think it means more to them. Maybe at the end of the season I can reflect on it. But when you're in the middle of the season and you have a tough stretch coming up, you don't think about it.
finishing whatever
I have some concerns, but that is about finishing plays. We had opportunities to finish plays. We just didn't -- for whatever reason.
