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.
available ball guy hard plays teams underneath
Most teams will not give you the plays downfield, ... particularly when you've got a guy like Santana, who has made big plays. You've got to be patient, and you've got to take what's available to you with the underneath stuff. So it's about being patient, but sometimes that's really hard to do, because you want to get that ball downfield.
defensive face grab guys hard hold onto
Let's face it, those guys hold if they can get away with it and it's hard to hold a defensive end when you can't grab onto him.
against feeling games good halfway hard overall played pleased position team tough won
We're not in any position to make any proclamations because we're only halfway through. All we can say is we're pleased with where we're at, 5-3. It could be better; it could be worse. You are what you are and we're a 5-3 team halfway through. Probably the overall feeling is that we feel pretty good about ourselves. We've been in tough games and won them. We've played against good defenses and offenses, and for the most part we've done very well. But it's hard to say at this point.
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.
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.
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.
bunch focused giggles guys listen puts time
We're not just a bunch of giggles out there. We work, but there is a time for a little levity, and I think it puts guys at ease. Some guys are so focused they don't listen to you anyway.
