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.
attitude distracted group high maintain start
First and foremost, when you get off to a start like this after very high expectations that you have as a group of people, you have to maintain an attitude that you're not going to be distracted by all the things that go around you,
biggest certainly football high mario maybe player surprised
I think certainly it was maybe the biggest play of our season, but I'm not surprised that Mario is the outstanding football player that he displayed in high school,
biggest came football great guess high mario surprised true
His touchdown may be the biggest play of our season. Mario is an outstanding football player. He displayed that in high school. He came from a great program. But I guess I am a little surprised at how much he's done as a true freshman.
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.
anybody best considered football great high offensive played point start talented tough
At some point he will be considered with the very, very best offensive linemen that have ever played here and that's high praise. He is so talented athletically and he is so tough mentally. For anybody who was going to start a football team, Jake Long would be a great place to start.
anybody compliment forward goals high higher players program ranked time trying worry
I don't worry about the polls, but I think any time you're ranked high it's a compliment to your players and your program and it's challenging and we look forward to trying to do better. We have our own goals and they can't be any higher than anybody else's goals for us.
career excitement great high imagine larry school
I can't imagine the excitement that Larry Foote is going through. He went to high school at Pershing, then to have a great career here.
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.
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.
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.
