challenge coach gave presents statement step
Coach Bowden gave a statement on that. The only thing I'll say is that we're disappointed. What it presents now is a challenge for someone else to step in and take over.
football goal passion time
You've got to have passion to play football. We had it on the goal line. But we didn't play like that all the time on the field.
draw fall overcome player step taking
It doesn't fall on one player taking his place. You have to draw from all the other guys, and they have to step their play up a little bit, too. That is how we overcome it.
accustomed gang job mature people playing reckless
Because they are older, more mature players, they're playing with a little more reckless abandon. It's all about getting 11 people swarming to the ball, gang tackling. We're doing a lot better job of that this year, a lot more like were accustomed to.
goal hold points team three
Our goal is always to hold the other team to 15 points or less. To hold them to three is really unbelievable.
affect bother came family football game good moving players sure win work
We came down to have a good time. We came down to work and we came down to win a football game and that's why we're here. Did it affect our players and our coaches? Sure it did. You don't just take someone out of your family and it not bother you. Will it keep us from moving forward? No. It just made it a little more difficult.
adversity challenge depth extremely faced handle presents problem step total
We have faced adversity all year. How you handle adversity is extremely important. Our problem is that we have not had the total depth that we have had in years past. What it presents now is a challenge for someone else to step in and take over.
contest finishing friendly hard mean mister playing won
We're not playing hard enough, we're not playing mean enough, and we're not finishing plays. We're just way too nice. We would have won the Mister Friendly contest out there.
case force guy normally occurs position whipping win
We got to force plays. Normally when a big play occurs ... it's a case of whipping a guy on-one. Be in a position to win and you just can't let them win on the big ones.
along goal good lost somewhere
We used to be pretty good on the goal line. But somewhere along the line, we've lost it. They wanted to get in more than we wanted to keep them out.
four penalties people
We're still having too many breakdowns - getting people out of position. Too many penalties. They don't do anything if we don't give them four penalties in the first half.
bit quite
We have quite a bit to do on defense.
beating hard miami time
We would have had a hard time beating (season-opening opponent) Miami today.
best conducting guys last response senior seniors turned younger
When we turned that thing over to them that last day, it was the best senior day and the best response out of underclassmen when the seniors were conducting the drills. We just need more younger guys (as leaders). You don't need just seniors to lead.
