This was a little more of a mix with run and pass. We were rough around the edges, but I think it was productive. At least we got some passes thrown today. I was kind of fired up about that.

We were rough around the edges there, not where we need to be.

Jeff has had some rough edges but has gotten his feet on the ground. There is not enough of a sample, though, to judge. Whatever happens we will need that defensive presence behind the plate.

I love to pass the ball. But if the run is there, I'll take it.

After that display in the bowl game, we need to get back to hard-nosed, kicking a little tail and doing what we do. You play that badly, you don't just let it pass. I know it's last year's team, but it creates a mentality for the future.

I told him on the sideline that there are days where you're not going to be sharp. Those are the days you almost have to will yourself. Even though your not playing the way you're accustomed to playing, you've got to find a way to eke out points.
