efficient hang
We're going to have to play very efficient and mistake-free to be able to hang in there with those guys.
change mindset running trying
When I'd get through the hole, I was just trying to change my mindset to, 'Now you're a running back,'
bowl rose understand win
We didn't win the Rose Bowl or anything. It's just a game. I think we understand that.
finally offense opportunity throw wide
It's just finally getting the opportunity to do what I like to do. This offense being so wide open, I can throw it to any receiver.
exactly great hits last lets offense open patient runner supposed waited year
He's a more patient runner now. Now, he lets things open up and then he hits them. Before he waited too long. Now, he hits them exactly when he's supposed to hit them. He has made great improvement, even from last year to this. He will be a big part of this offense this year.
penn state throw
That's what I used to see Penn State do, back when they were winning. They never let up. If we made a big play, we'd throw another big play.
players situations
He's a big-time player. And big-time players show up in big-time situations in big-time games.

He deserves it. He really does. He's worked so hard. He stayed with us. People told him to retire. Now look at him. Nobody's saying to retire and no more Joe must go Web sites. None of that. I'm just so happy for him.

You start completing passes and the offensive line is like 'OK, if I keep blocking, we're gonna make big plays,'
spend
It is expensive, but as long as it's efficient, we'll spend the money.
adjusting best coach five game great halftime hall job passing plays running sees six win
Coach Hall does a great job of adjusting on game day. He's one of the best I've ever seen. He will come in at halftime and say, 'Look, here are five running plays and six passing plays and we'll do it and win the game.' He sees things very well.
criticize helped jay people talking
Jay has helped me a lot. Those people that criticize him really don't know what they're talking about.
line player running unique
Derrick's a very unique player. He has exceptional speed. We were able to line him up at running back sometimes. I don't know if we have another player on our roster like that.
coverage guys recognize
They didn't go to a traditional coverage after they blitzed, ... and our guys were really able to recognize that and get open.
