basics football playing running smart solid start turning year
The basics start with playing smart football, not turning it over and also running the football and playing solid defense. That's how you win. We've been doing those things. The first part of the year we weren't.
Just a sprain. Nothing really serious. Just kind of what we thought going in.
ball biggest cutting defense difference good running smarter
We're cutting down on our mistakes. We're being smarter with the football. We're running the ball much better. Our defense has been good all year, but offensively, the biggest difference is that we're running the ball. That makes everything a lot easier.
run throw
We couldn't run it and, obviously, we didn't throw well, either.
clean entirely game needs passing plays realize timing watch worked
We had two big plays that worked and got us the win, but there is still some timing there and some work that needs to be done, ... You watch the game and realize we have to clean up some things. The passing game wasn't entirely there.
critical four games great guys hard last realize riding season tough worked year
Our season is riding on this game. The guys have worked real hard all year to get to this place. From where we were at 5-6, it's pretty remarkable. All of that being said and as great as these last four games have been, if we don't get this one, it would be tough to end the season that way. We have to realize how critical this is.
bounce good great nobody rally rock smarter works
Rock is just a great guy, ... Nobody works harder, nobody has a better attitude. These things just happen. I'm not going to be the only one to say these things happen. It's unfortunate. We'll bounce back and we'll rally around each other. It's very frustrating. We're doing some good things. If we do our own part and we're smarter with the ball, we'll be okay.
difficult five row start winning
Winning five in a row is difficult to do. But that's over with. Now we start a new season.
few good opinion ways
We feel good about a few things that we're doing, but in my opinion we've got a ways to go.
coached fortunate great group helped system
We were very fortunate to be in that system and to be coached by that group of coaches. It was a great environment, great to come to right out of college. I was only there for two years, but it helped me so much.
defense
Our defense was incredible. You can't say enough about them.
football good helps knowing priorities relationship three top wife
That allows me to put things in perspective, knowing I've got some priorities in my life. At the top is my relationship with God, and then my relationship with my wife and kids, and football's down there around three or four. Knowing that helps me be a good football player.
guys played
We've played only one game, but for the most part guys are more comfortable with what we're doing.
step walk
We had something there. If I could've done it again, I'd step up in the pocket. I think we'd walk away with a TD.
