Ron Zook on The Score
September 22, 2011 8:59 AM
* Win against ASU helps confidence of the team, stadium was electric. Need to forget that game and move on to WMU
* Big games against big programs from other BCS conferences good for your team and your conference, usually a good test
* Relationship with Mike Thomas going great so far, looking forward to working together
* Feels there is a good buzz on campus, 3-0 start helps, need to keep it in perspective though
* Can do better running the ball, special teams can get better, missed some coverages on defense, all phases can be better
* Cornell did speech by his own, really impressed, makes Zook's job easier
* Zook's gameday duties include giving perspective to both PP and VK (think of what defense is doing to offense, and think of what offense is doing to our defense)
* Zook can focus on whole team more because of new coordinators, can focus on personal relationship with the players more
* Not going to apologize for our schedule, especially after 6 years of traveling everywhere
* Scheelhaase worked so hard in off season, way ahead of where Zook thought he would be, just a great guy, only cares about winning, will do whatever coaches want, gets better everyday
