apparent coaches days good great guys large next number recruit spread starts state states year
I think it starts - we always start in the state of Michigan. And we did not recruit a large number of guys from this state this year. It already is apparent that next year will be a very good year in this state. We start here, but I think our coaches did a great job. I was in 16 states in 15 days in January, and so we were spread out, and yet I think we've got an outstanding class.
balance both challenge course difficult finds good great opens run surrounded ten time yards
I think they have great balance, and any time you have great balance, it's a much more difficult challenge to defend. Pittman has had an outstanding year; over 1,100 yards in ten games. I think he's tough, has great vision, finds the hole, and of course he's surrounded by a lot of good people. When you're complimented and you have the balance to both run and throw, then it opens everything up.
chad good great last
I thought Chad did some great things in there. That last touchdown, it was a great drive. He scrambled for significant yardage and on the touchdown; he did some very good things.
few good knocked liked pressured
But I thought we did some good things. No. 1, I thought we really pressured the quarterback and knocked him down a few times. I liked that.
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.
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.
good plays poor progress throws
Being a quarterback is a process. And I think he made a lot of progress. I think he made some very good throws out there today, then he had some very poor plays that he'd like to have back.
bad bouncing game good hear lost plays week worry
I don't worry about him bouncing back, ... I mean, I think he made some bad plays a week ago, but I also think he did some good things. What I hear is that it's like he lost the game. Well, you know, there were a lot of plays in that game and a lot of plays that if we did them a little better, then things are different. It's a combination of a lot of things. It wasn't just the quarterback.
challenged despite football fought impressed played proud
I thought our team, despite some of the things we were challenged with, fought back and played through some adversity, and I'm proud of this football team. I think the thing I've been impressed with is how we've competed.
extremely goals high michigan stumble team tough
Here at Michigan the goals are always extremely high and the expectations are always great. When you stumble early, that's when you really find out how tough your team is.
agreeable dealing distract less listen might people success wise
Dealing with success is more agreeable than dealing with losing, ... but it's no less difficult. Now we have to deal with all these people patting us on the back. But it's not wise to listen to that because it might distract you from what you need to get done.
interested
I'd be more interested in what he wanted to do.
perhaps urgency week
Obviously, there is a sense of urgency about this week that's very special, that perhaps is different.
carry game learned says third true
I think we learned that he's durable. When you carry the ball, particularly in your third game as a true freshman, 25 times, I think it says a lot of things.
