continued defense defensive good played work
I thought the defense played well, they (the first team) didn't give up a long play all day. I thought the young defensive linemen continued to show improvement. They got some good work in this week.
charlie good last messed productive responsibility sole talent
I think I messed Charlie up last year, and he's too good of a person, too good of a talent not to be more productive than he was last year. I take sole responsibility for him not being productive.
boston catch college good hard might running similar sure throw time
We did not throw and catch as good as we have in the past. I'm sure Boston College (next week's opponent), they might be similar and we might have a hard time running if we can't throw.
blow fits good miss
We are really going to miss Cole Downer, ... He has good hands, is an outstanding blocker and really fits what we are doing with this offense. He has been working very hard. This is a blow to our team.
good guys move sitting somewhere
I don't want one of our really good ones sitting down. If he is better than one of those guys somewhere else, than we will move him over there.
giving good heavy kicking work
He is a pretty good kicker. We are giving him some heavy work right now. He is kicking just as good if not better.
ethic far good looked practice practiced problem work workout
He looked good, but he's looked good for a while in practice and everything. I don't think his problem is going to be inconsistency in practice. He's always practiced good as far as work ethic and workout habits.
ability enthusiasm good hungry jury lead learn stayed
He's had a very good spring. He's stayed healthy. He's hungry to learn the position. His enthusiasm is good. He's been a really good leader, and that's something the jury was kind of out on ? his ability to lead a team.
enthusiasm good looked
He has looked really, really good. He has good enthusiasm.
against coaching competition field freshmen good guys treated
From a coaching perspective, when those guys are on the field -- against good competition -- there are going to be some errors. But I don't think these freshmen want to be treated as freshmen anymore.
change demeanor developed good head identity obviously open sit sure team
This team has developed an identity and I think that demeanor has been good over the open date. As the head coach, I have to make sure that I don't flinch and sit here and try to change a lot of things because obviously we are pretty close. We have to find a way to make one more play.
football good guy
There is a lot on a young guy like that and to get the catches that he did that was very impressive. ... I think he is really going to be a good football player.

I wouldn't be too worried. He's done too many good things and has shown too much improvement to be worried about half a day with split teams.
concerned good happened improvement split today worried
I wouldn't be too worried because he has done too many good things and showed so much improvement to be concerned about what happened today with split teams.
