locker miss room trying
We're going to miss him in the locker room as a leader. I know Jason. He'll be around and part of what we're trying to do.
caused degree fair hindsight issues percentage played rick trying versus
Hindsight is 20-20, and I was trying to be fair to all concerned, ... Rick had played really well for us. It's not working out. What degree it's caused some of the issues versus man-to-man (coverage) and some of those things, I can't put a percentage on that. It's one of the things that we can do something about.
tough
It's a tough loss, but it's not the end of the season.
freaky personnel saw scheme talk
That's one of those freaky things. I don't know how to talk about that. We just take (them) each one at a time. You don't even think about those other than the personnel that's back or the scheme you saw before.
apparently coming concerned weather
I am concerned about this weather that's apparently coming in, but that's not something we can do anything about today.
ability arm except game good jonathan pleased throw
I thought Erik had a good game except for the two sacks. I've been pleased with Jonathan Crompton for him to get into the huddle and verbalize the way he does and with his ability to throw with arm strength. That's been impressive.
dynamic
I don't know that we have been as dynamic offensively as I thought we would to this point.
cleared couple days five issue six wait
The clearinghouse issue hasn't been cleared up. It may be cleared up in two days, five days, six months, I don't know. If it's just a couple of days he could come right back, but if it's too long he'll have to wait and come in January.
ceremony chance concerned everybody exciting fans greats honor program
It's exciting for Peyton and for our program and our fans and administration and everybody concerned to have this chance to honor one of our greats from the past. To be a part of the ceremony is really special.
brought calmness change consistency reason rick unless
Rick is our quarterback right now, and unless there's a reason to change we won't change. Obviously, Rick has brought consistency and calmness to our offense.
handle kids night ready saturday
Our kids are going to handle it, ... We're ready to go play Saturday night if that's what we do.
last turn year
Last year was kind of our turn to get one of those, I guess.
burst coaster control emotional happens intense lick lose roller time together win
The emotional roller coaster and the need to win is so intense that for the wives, who have no control over what happens on the field, there are times when you want to burst into tears, ... You don't have time to celebrate, and you don't have time to lick your wounds. We win together and we lose together.
apparently both field muddy ours
The field was covered, ... Apparently it drains off really well like ours does. If it's a little muddy, it's muddy on both sides.
