both changes hopefully sides unfold
There will be significant changes on both sides of the ball. That will unfold in the fall, and hopefully it will be obvious. The most important thing is it translates into performance.
decent executing felt good job
They just did a good job of executing a good play. It was a good call. We felt like we were in a decent defense.
ability effect effort evolved fatigue four game individual matter minutes quickness sustain time toughness
It's a matter of quickness, that's what this game has evolved to - quickness and toughness and ability to sustain an effort over 60 minutes and over four months. Any time you have too much weight, it has a fatigue effect on you, in an individual game and in the season.
both excellent game lose particular playing program season team teams terms tradition win
I think it's a game that in terms of the tradition of this program is the most important game that we play. I think for any team playing in it, it's a big game. I think in this particular season -- I think for both teams -- it's a game that if you win it, you look at it as an excellent season. If you lose it, it's probably a disappointing season.
avoid purpose reviewed
If some things are reviewed and some aren't, then you have controversy and the whole purpose of this thing was to avoid controversy.
challenge coming
This is going to be a new challenge coming up. Going on the road, it's a different deal.
guys time
For the guys that are going into it for the first time or the first time they're going to play in this game, there's a lot of things that they don't know yet and they're going to find out in a hurry,
chad credit embraced gets giving great handled helping job players praise pressure terry
Our players embraced him and Chad gets most of the credit for that because of the way he handled the pressure of the job and the praise he got for doing it. But (quarterbacks coach) Scot Loeffler did a great job of helping him get better every day and (offensive coordinator) Terry Malone did a great job of giving him things he could handle, not overloading him.
anybody football goals good happened lost program stage teams unless
Every program has goals and you have to decide, do you still have the same goals, because when you look around at what's happened in the first two weeks, a lot of very good football teams have lost. I don't think at this stage anybody is out of anything unless you've lost two games.
confidence great
He understands that I have great confidence in him,
chance great guy higher mean performed word
He's so competitive, he's so tough, and he's so smart. Once he got a chance to play, he performed well, and he had a great career. I don't like the word 'overachiever.' I called him that once, and he said, 'What do you mean by that?' I said, 'What I mean is, I can't give a guy a higher compliment.' Sometimes when you get called that, it's like you don't have any ability, you just play hard. He had ability.
deserved happened people players wait
Some things happened at the end, but I'll have to wait and see on tape. I thought our players deserved better. I don't know how many people were on the field. I don't know how that happened.
bowl gotten lose poet rose until win
An old poet said, 'It's better to go to the Rose Bowl and lose than not to have gotten there at all.' What I want to do is keep going out there (to Pasadena) until we win one of those things.
gave offense
The turnovers were monumental. I thought we gave our offense a lot of opportunities, and we just couldn't capitalize.
