It's very important we stay in touch with them, in that they are a visual reminder. But the most important thing we can do [to build support] is to win games.
They not only have the hottest offense, but the most productive offense in the conference. They run an (option) offense that's different from what everybody else in the conference does and they do it with good skill players. When you have very skilled players who can improvise, that creates a great challenge for your defensive unit.
Peter has shown through spring football, the summer and the early fall, he has been remarkably consistent with his distance. We're excited about that and keeping him in the groove.
We tried to pinpoint what we do best. We said at halftime we wanted to win the second half.
We talked all week that in order to beat [an option offense], you have to be assignment perfect.
I'm not so sure it was worse last season against Hampton.
He can execute the option game in all its forms. He's a very dangerous player. He can go the distance or make the necessary decision to pitch it out to the other guy.
It's been pretty challenging. All you can do is play whatever's there on the schedule. Although it doesn't look like it from the scores, I believe we have gotten better.
I'm very pleased with him. Red-shirt freshmen will have good games and bad ones. We have to live with it.
