DAN LANNING
About expectations coming in
I was expecting our players to play with an edge. I was expecting them to execute and do their job at a really high level. I thought, you know, the things that we were asking our guys to do, that they were able to do, and they did that tonight.
On the Play of Dante Moore
He was out there playing with joy. You see the smile on his face, and there’s still gonna be some moments that he’s gonna want back, right, some opportunities that we missed and some things that we can improve. But overall, I thought he executed the plan that we asked him to execute at a high level.
About playing in New Jersey
It was perfect weather for football. Everyone here has been, you know, very hospitable, it’s been a good experience. I came here once before as a GA, and we didn’t win, so it’s nice to come back and be able to get a W.
On Creating Turnovers
Yeah, you know, overall, it’s going to lead to success when you can create turnovers. And we had some, too, so we got to make sure that we improve that, but we challenged our guys to be able to create some. And those showed up, we said a week, and really today, we’re not chasing stats, we’re chasing the standard. And I thought our guys did a good job of that.
About Rutgers
Yeah, I think Rutgers is an extremely well coached team. I think there’s a lot of things that their team does that’s really challenging, and we had to win some battles to have success tonight. And, you know, we were able to do that. We were able to win some one on ones, but they put you in a lot of tough situations, in all phases. They make it hard on you and I thought they had some good answers, too, for some things that we did. We were just able to out-execute tonight.
