Neuheisel ON: Part 3

| | Comments (11) |

On why Prince went back in:
"We were going into two-minute and Kevin Prince had all the two-minute reps. (Prince was in) for the administration of the two-minute offense, and also because, 'I'm not giving up on you.'"

On Kevin Craft:
"Kevin Craft is in a position where he's going to have to be patient. I think he knows how much we care for him and think about him, but I think we've got to keep working on these young guys and keep building our program. If it gets to the point where Kevin Craft is clearly the guy who needs to be in the game for us to have success, than I'll make that decision. We thought he was clearly the guy for Kansas State. It's a difficult place for him to be, I understand that, but I admire him for his patience."

On the coaching so far:
"We can do better as a coaching staff. I do not want to shirk responsibility from us. It's too easy to say, 'Well, we're just too young.' We have enough to be successful. We've proven we can be successful. We need to play within ourselves and be efficient."

On whether the team can come back from a 14-point deficit:
"It's more difficult, that's not the recipe I'd pick. But I'm not going to say we can't do that. Against Stanford, we got one of them done and were in a position to come back and tie the game, we just didn't make the plays. In game 2, we got down there after a great punt return, and again, didn't make the plays. At the end of the day, you have to execute."

Craft is clearly the guy if you want to win some games THIS year. If you decide to give up on this season, then just run Prince and Brehaut out there every game so they get their game reps and experience.

Simple equation.

Maltbaa,

I was planning on talking to Chris on Saturday but we just didn't touch base. We'll talk tonight, I'm sure.

Thanks
JG

What a bunch of manure Rick. Kevin Craft was the quarterback to beat Oregon. You Brehaut in the fourth quarter. Brehaut was in high school a few months ago. Craft is a fifth year senior who has led UCLA on several stirring fourth quarter comebacks.

That loss is squarely on you for mis-management of player personnel.

You should have brought in Moline at the goal line. Two sneaks with a qb that has a broken jaw instead of a fullback with experience, bulk and forward momentum when he hits the line.

I am very disappointed in losing that game. You didn't play to win. You played to appease your quarterbacks.
