Downs Quotations | Page 3

No matter the ups and downs of the poll numbers, this race will be very close. Thus, without an opponent, the current numbers only capture half the story.

Absolutely. I think the consistency, or lack thereof -- where we are at this moment is not where you'd like to be after three games. We haven't done little things across the board. Everyone likes to discuss what we haven't done at quarterback, but we could talk a little bit about all the way down the line, where we need to get a lot better. We need to get a lot better fast, because when you start playing against the Big Ten defenses, yards and first downs and points are even more difficult. So we've got a lot of work to do and we've just got to get at it.

The offense did a good job in the two-minute drill to get down there and use up all the clock. We find a way to get it done. We've sure had our ups and downs this year, but this team has a lot of heart.

Their pass rush did give us some issues in the first half, there's no doubt about that. But also, we knew they were going to give us tight coverage, and we didn't win a lot of the one-on-one battles you need to gain first downs and move the ball.

If the market decides that the amplitude of the airline ups and downs may be less now than it had been in years past, we may move closer to the kinds of P/E ratios we see for other stocks.

They've got other kids who are capable, so if you just worry about those two and leave the other ones by themselves, they can hurt you. But definitely Downs and Bennett are great players.

It's amicable, believe me. My father supports both of us. Our family's been through a lot. We've been through our ups and downs in the boxing business.

We wish each other the best, and we'll probably do some business together when the circumstance presents itself.

I love my older brother. He paved my life for me. He put my whole family on his back in college. But there's ups and downs with that. When things are going good, he's a great person to have as your brother. When bad things happen, everybody knows about it.

All the ups and downs have really made us appreciate what we have now all the more. We're just absolutely thrilled, and we couldn't be happier.

All in the Downs the fleet was moored, / The streamers waving in the wind, / When black-eyed Susan came aboard.

That's our goal this year, to force teams into third and long, ... Stop the run, stop the run, then attack. Because we've got the type of defense on third downs that can force turnovers.

They didn't have a lot of short third downs to make. Our linebackers and secondary are exceptional at pass defense. We were getting a little pressure up front and they were in a position where they had to pass the ball to get a first down. They had a ways to go. We're forcing them into a corner we can keep them in. And then everybody went out and made the plays. I guess all the cogs were clicking, all the machinery was working.

They have enough veteran guys over there who have won Cups. They understand what's at stake, what's going on. I don't foresee them looking past anybody.

There were some ups and downs today for this team.

It was certainly a lot better than last Saturday's performance and maybe the lads have recovered their self belief. I've made it clear however that there's no point in us raising our game against Rangers and Celtic if we can't produce results against the teams in the lower part of the league. I know its going to be a roller-coaster ride for the rest of the season - there will be plenty ups and downs but I'm enjoying every minute of it.

It was a strange match with lots of ups and downs from both of us. I started off really well, but from 3-all in the second set, I missed a few and she stepped it up.

Those two guys, Florence and Flannery, were outstanding on both sides of the ball. We ask them to block and then both have to play every defensive play.

It's hard to say. They didn't do anything we didn't expect. We just didn't convert. Penalties and not converting on third downs cost us. I got behind them that first time and then the majority of their defense was that cover-two look with a corner on me and a safety moving over to help. We thought they'd do it more on the boundary. They varied that a little bit.

It's always discouraging when you are losing, but we got our butts kicked by another team that is struggling like we are. The Magic are having their ups and downs like we are, but they came to play tonight. We didn't. I can't stand here and say everything will be fine. There are a lot of guys wondering what is going on. I'm just trying to be professional, and take it as it comes.

There's a lot of ups and downs to every playoff series. We didn't really get dominated. It was a game that was back and forth.

They're about situations I've gone through being in a relationship. You won't hear me write a song about walking on a beach because that isn't what my life has been about.

He's my mentor. He's what I want to be in my future here at Rutgers. Going through ups and downs just him being the all around player that's what I want to be like. He's got a legacy that he's already built and he's still here being a great, tough, hard-nosed player.
