    We've come out trying to run the ball. The second ballgame (against I-AA the Citadel), we came out throwing because we thought we were superior and we could do what we wanted to. Now, when you're playing Syracuse and you're playing Miami and you're playing Boston College, you better do what's best. I felt like sooner or later, we're going to have to come out throwing the darn ball, and that's what our offensive staff wanted to do.

    It sure doesn't look like you'll see coaches stay at one place for a long time ever again. Administrators at some of the schools are getting jittery and at a drop of a hat will make a change. Times have changed so much that if you're not careful, it ain't as much fun anymore.
