Matt Cavanaugh Quotations

He's so conscientious. He wants to know everything about every play. He wants to know what every other guy is doing. Sometimes, I have to reel him in a little and remind him he has to worry about what he has to do. But, believe me, I'm not complaining.

We're going to shake up the backfield a little bit, and give the other guys a chance, too.

We are getting closer every day, we really are. We're going to need every day because we have a ways to go, but I am seeing some signs that they are starting to think like one. They've made strides the last few days and they are starting to take a lot of pride in what they do, so we're on our way.

We probably should take some more shots down the field. We need to give those guys an opportunity, and Tyler's got to get the confidence that if he puts the ball up, his guy's going to go up and compete for it and come down with it.

I really believe if we had won that game, we would have gone all the way.

We have to get the turnovers under control. But it is more than just Tyler -- our receivers have to work back to some balls, our line has to protect a little better. But if we can cut down on turnovers against Nebraska we will have a chance. There are a lot of nuances about the college game that I have to learn as well. It's only two games so it is too early to press the panic button just yet.

I take credit or blame for a couple of the losses. I thought I called some poor games offensively, and I didn't give our players a chance to execute some plays. ... So, I've got a lot of improvement to make. It's not just the players.

Our receivers have to get back to some balls, and our line has to protect a little better. So there's a lot involved, but if we can go into this game and just cut down the turnovers, we'll have a chance.

It's been two games. We hit a couple in the first game, but we didn't get any in the second one. So I don't know that we're going to push a panic button yet.

Going on the road against a team like Nebraska that's getting a lot of scores off turnovers and is pressuring the quarterback, he's just got to make better decisions,
