Western Michigan: Tyler Van Dyke

you know not you know Force the ball into certain situations a game like that is how is it so beneficial to have a couple veteran backs like chz like I can kind of handle that load and how do you feel like they P the offense as well yeah I mean I think it all started with offensive line they did a great job all night um you know making uh good holes for tawi chz Cade um you know those guys did a great job running the ball the first guy was never the first guy to tackle them uh take a lot of guys to tackle them so um yeah did they did a great job and it started with the Olan and um you know carried us all night you saw a bit of your comfortability running the football you know being on Keepers your scamers what did you kind of see from them that allowed you to to take yeah we had a couple draws couple uh run reads that you know had a pull on a few and would like to run a little bit better than just kind of just go not dance around a little bit and um just kind of have to go and um you know that's kind of be the case that I have to pull the ball um sometimes and uh would like to run a little bit better than I did tonight but it was a good start Helm to helmet first half a little bit yeah I remember that yeah um yeah I mean I didn't feel anything from that really but um yeah a lot of positives and negatives from tonight uh what are you hoping to build on uh into next week and the rest of the season yeah we learned how to you know hand no adversity right away in the first game obviously down uh going into the fourth quarter and um I thought we did a great job you know keeping good energy going into the fourth quarter and um you know scoring 15 points um consecutive so um you know just have to have a better start um obviously we had three drives in the first half and um you know wish we had a little bit more of that more drives so obvious we could score more points but um yeah I mean I thought we did a good job finishing and uh we're going to have some adversities sometimes um and yeah we got to be better next week though for sure but it was also a balanced pretty balanced both uh passing and running um is that kind of like the offense you like to run or um how how does it kind of play into to your strength yeah I mean I thought we were uh we were balanced for sure um obviously would like to be better in the past game I thought missed a couple uh shots for sure um the wrong game I think was solid so we'd like to have a little bit more in the in the in the past game um than we did tonight what do you think limited you guys in the in the Red Zone you know the inability to finish with touchdowns um it's a good question uh I'm going to have to look at the film and and see uh but they did a good job covering uh some plays and um you know just can't force it um just have to make a little bit better decisions down there were you a little were you a little jacked up to start the game a little bit uh some of the Luke said that maybe there might have been a little bit too much juice on some of the throws uh some of throws yeah maybe uh the adrenaline got to me a little bit and uh calmed down second Drive um so um you know it's a good game to build on um obviously need to be better decision making throwing the ball but I mean I've done it before I've I've been in these situations and I know how to handle it so um yeah I think we we'll we'll all be good so you talked about the P few shots is it hard to stay patient as a quarterback in games like this where defense is pretty much saying like we're not letting anything deep you're going to have to Dink and dunk you're going to have to be smart with the ball like that yeah I mean obviously you want to throw for a lot of yards and throw some some touchdowns so um you know just got to take the medicine and um you know dump it down sometimes um can't force the ball uh I feel like I said that a lot but it's true and um have to be smart with it in especially in the red zone so um yeah t gave you guys some life there um you know you were watching on the sidelines and you kind of broke out for last year what would you like about his skill set and you know why do you think he's able to make such an impact despite you playing the same position as arguably you know best player on yeah I mean all you got to do is really get the ball in his hands and he can make something happen so um really good route Runner uh you know I think you saw that a little bit tonight and um yeah made an incredible catch on a two-point play went up and got it so um you know those two guys right over there will and trch I mean uh they're tremendous players and um you know I like to get the ball a little bit more to them uh let them work a little bit more so where what was
