I think our defense had a great plan, ... I think the mixture of pressure and the athleticism of our team in that style of offense is a problem. We anticipated good play from our defense.
More Quotes from Les Miles:
There was no routine at the start of the season. Players learned to have balance and learned to redirect and understand hurdles and obstacles. They still had to have a balance of school and surroundings in New Orleans and Louisiana. It's a great compliment to our players.Les Miles
On offense we cannot sustain the mistakes that we made. I will not allow it. We're going to work hard at it. We worked hard at it last week, and we're going to work hard at it again. There's got to be a stronger push and a greater commitment by our team. We're going to fix it.

My brother was a year younger than I am and he was never in the home with me hardly at all, ... My mom had to take him to every school there possibly was to get him some education. He ended up first in Columbus, Ohio, for grade school, then went to a high school for the deaf and Galludet (University) in Washington.

I think there was a sense of urgency in the locker room. I don't think anybody wants to celebrate wildly about a sloppy game offensively. I think they understand what they've been able to accomplish with these errors. Certainly, it can be fixed and the final style of team that we want to be is there for us. We just need to make some corrections.

It was a play of opportunity. It's certainly something that he can do. He has the wherewithal to do that. It's a concern when we are backed into our own endzone. The reality is I want him to take that advantage. It's like leaving a net untended and you're supposed to pass, but damn you got to take a shot. Certainly represented what we wanted to happen.

I think the time has really benefited Matt. To know he's the starter, he was able to take the reigns of the team and prepare that way. We have great confidence in him as a quarterback. He's done very well in the games he's played in this year, and we think he'll play well against Miami.

Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There's a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn't exist.
