balances best eric offense runs throws
The best thing about Eric is he balances up our offense. He throws it to everyone. He runs the offense the way it should be run.
defense fast hard playing rush seemed win
It's been hard for me because I still believe, if you're going to win the big games, you have to rush the football. They scored so fast tonight, it seemed like we were playing defense all the time.
huge success
That's a huge part of having success over time,
errors hopefully intent mistake playing sure team turn weeks
The intent of the first two weeks was to make sure that we could make a mistake here or there and hopefully come out with a win. If you make those errors (against Iowa), you're playing a team that will take those and turn them into scores.
guys later pan players showing sooner start time
It will be interesting how they pan out. But the guys we have are the guys we have. They'd better start showing up here sooner or later because it is their time now, and they are junior-type players for us.
chose community great northern obviously stay university
They chose to stay in this community and stay at the University of Northern Iowa, which is obviously a great thing for us,
guys key offense runners spring work
The key is to keep those two guys healthy. They need to get a lot of reps. This is an important spring for them. We need to find out what kind of runners they are so we can make the offense work for them.
football great mad team
You've got a great football team that's now a mad football team,
team
And now they get to go home, and I think they're a different team at home.
bay control defense downside football game good kept played quarter upside
It could have been a game we had under control in the first quarter had we done the things we need to do. We all know that the downside is we made some turnovers and the upside is the defense played very good football and kept them at bay all day long.
best calls evolved football
I think that has been the best thing that's evolved from these two football games. It also allows us, as coaches, to go back and find the calls that best use their talents.
corey law power running
Law is more of a power running back, while Corey has more speed.
football gray line team
It's the same way on defense. They know how we want them to come to camp. There aren't as many questions, and there are no gray areas. We can just line up and try to make our football team better.
fall game great group inches season time
It's disappointing, of course, but at the same time we've had a great season with a great group of players. It's a game of inches, and in this one we didn't have the inches fall in our direction.
