bothered game instant pivotal point review stop time understand work wrinkles
If we don't stop the game and look at it at that point in time on a pivotal play I don't understand it. And I know we have some wrinkles to work out with instant replay, but I'm just bothered that we didn't stop and review it.
games giving good hayden lane played
Hayden Lane has played some good games for us. We are not giving up on him. We need better production, particularly from the right tackle.
andre game instant looked pivotal replay understand
I don't know if Andre Woodson was down or not; from my perception, it looked like he was, ... I just don't understand why we have instant replay if we don't look at a pivotal play in the game like that. All we have to do is look at it.
excited field game hard seen threw worked
The culmination is to get them on the field. Like I know how hard Will Fidler has worked all winter. I was just excited to see him because I had never really been on the field to see him when he threw the football. I've seen him on film. I've seen game tapes, and all that stuff. To see him out here, that part is really exciting.
backs ball beating chasing easy faster game guys hand history love running stronger time
Running backs take a beating because the guys chasing them are bigger, stronger and faster than at any time in the history of the game. I'd love to have a guy you can hand the ball 25 times a game and he'd always get 100 yards, but that's not an easy thing these days.
games momentum start turned winning
The momentum will really get going when we start winning games. I think we've turned the corner, but we've got to get to the straightaway and accelerate.
game good job run somebody win
They do a good job with the quarterback run game and with the option, ... Somebody once told me that you couldn't win in the SEC with the option, but doggone it, somebody's doing it and they're doing it pretty well.
chance deal fought game idaho last loss players prove reward team win
The first game we had a chance to win and we rebounded and fought back, but we didn't get any reward (in a loss to Louisville). Then we fought back in our last game (against Idaho State) and won. Now we have even more players sidelined. Now we'll really see how we deal with adversity, because this is a chance to prove we really are a different team this year.
blocking game good guy hard strong time
This guy is a big-time player. I think you are going to see this every game out of him. We've had a hard time blocking him all spring. Myron is very instinctive, very strong and he can run. That's a pretty good combination.
game
it would have been a lot more interesting game, and you never know what can happen.
amount games limited lost next ohio preparing quarter school somebody start state system three until
At Oregon, we were on the quarter system and didn't start school until September, so we'd play three games before school started. One year, I lost a game at Ohio State and went back to two-a-days the next week. You can't do that anymore. You used to be able to outwork somebody in preparing for a game, but now everybody's limited to the same amount of time.
aaron absence bring competition gained great intense left position spring strength tackle weighs weight
It's great to have Aaron back in school. During his absence he's gained strength and weight (now weighs 298 pounds). He will bring intense competition to the left tackle position during spring practice.
knife somebody stuck
It was just like somebody stuck a knife in our stomach. It's a shame.

There's no way we could have (practiced) on that a year ago, ... We'd have been sliding and standing in water.
