Neuheisel ON: Part 2

| | Comments (1) |

From today's press conference, ctd.:

On what impressed him in the fourth quarter:
"I thought the quarterback in particular settled down, and kind of found himself, in terms of his rhythm, his poise, his ability to stand in there and make throws down the field. Coming up with two two-point conversions is not easy to do. Those are all building blocks. Hopefully we'll use that as great momentum for this week of practice.

On UCLA's tough Pac-10 start:
"The schedule is what the schedule is, I just know we get a chance to play each Saturday. We found out in the month of October when you don't play our best, nothing good is going to happen. We need to correct that and become a much more consistent team in November."

On pressuring the quarterback more:
"You have two ways of playing pas s - you can get pressure on the quarterback and get him to throw it before he wants to or you can drop back into coverage. We have to do a better job of mixing that up. We have to be right when we choose to pressure the quarterback. We have to do a great job in coverage of making sure we do just that, make sure were covering."

On Jake Locker:
"I think he's a complete player. Obviously he's flourished with Coach Sarkisian. I had an opportunity before I got this job at UCLA to spend a few days with him in Louisiana for the Manning passing camp, and I'm very impressed with him.
