    We never got in a rhythm, and that's what we are trying to eliminate, ... We are trying to start faster and get in a rhythm. We took too many pre-snap penalties early, and it put us in a situation where we were always punting. Hopefully what we are doing on the offensive side of the ball will clean that up.

    In a matter of three series, we had a poor planned kickoff, and they get the ball at midfield. They go deep for a big play the next play. They score a touchdown. They kickoff to us, on the return we get a holding penalty. We get the ball out on a reverse and we fumble. In a matter of a five-minute span we gave up 17 points, really 21 points.

    He's got great ball skills, and he has a lot of intangibles. The question on him is tackling, but he had three tackles last week. He did a pretty good job in that area.

    We turned it over way too many times. It's a shame we didn't score more points. If you hold a team to 17 points you should win. We moved the ball well, we just didn't score enough.

    It is hard to defend the quarterback. He does a great job. He made a nice play. I guess his hand touched the pylon. I thought the ball was outside the pylon, but if any part of your body touches the pylon it is a touchdown.

    On defense, I thought the first group did well. If we do turn the ball over, I would like to see them hold them to field goals instead of touchdowns. But basically the defense did all right.

    The fumble was because of a missed block in protection. The one pass was bad. The ball just slipped out of his hand.
