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.

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.

bottom climb fought injury keeps occurs overcame ryan starter top
The real story on Ryan is how he has overcame his setbacks. Because when you climb to the top - become a starter - and an injury occurs that keeps you out for a long time, you have to start back at the bottom rung. Ryan fought his way back up.
compete defensive secondary
We need to make that defensive secondary better, we need to find some linebackers, and we need to compete and make those defensive linemen tougher.
