(Meyer) challenges you. If you're a competitive guy, you're going to want to get better. You're going to take the challenge. |
[For the first few days on campus, the Leaks lived together in Chris' apartment. But after so many years of sharing a bedroom while growing up, that got old pretty quick.] Chris said to me, 'When is C.J. going to get an apartment, Dad?' ... They love each other, but they have to have their space. |
[It's] just normal treatment, whatever they do for a bruised shoulder, I guess, ... Just icing it and keeping it on track. |
[Quarterback Chris Leak is back at practice after missing most of the past week with a sprained right shoulder. Leak played Saturday against Mississippi State, but his timing and accuracy were off. He has completed 48.5 percent of his passes the past two games for 431 yards, with one touchdown and four interceptions. He's been sacked six times.] It's just fine, ... The main thing is being out there and playing with those guys. I never want to let those guys down. |
[When the two first sat down together in January, new Florida coach Urban Meyer told rising junior quarterback Chris Leak that he planned to build the offense around Leak's talents.] Coming from a guy who has had his success, ... that makes a quarterback feel pretty great. |
A lot of guys were at that game and played in that game. I think a lot of guys are more focused now. It makes them that much more hungry I guess. |
Being a captain on this team is a big honor, |
Clausen is in a class with the best quarterbacks I have seen in 27 years -- with Jeff George, John Elway and Dan Marino,'' Lemming said. |
Everybody who comes in is highly rated, highly talented. So the best thing you can do is give advice to a young guy. |
He is a very passionate guy, ... He wants everybody to get better. He wants everybody to be great. |
He listens to his players and he does everything he can to make sure his players are successful. |
He wants to play towards your strength, and he's going to put in plays that you're confident in and that really give you the confidence going out there. |
He's a versatile guy. He's like a Fred Taylor or a LaDainian Tomlinson. He can do all those things, and that's what we try to let him do. |
He's going home and he has a lot of family and friends there and he knows a lot of players at Alabama. I can imagine how special this moment is for him and his family. It's a big-time game and he's going to enjoy it. |
He's working most of the time. But he's my big brother, and I come to him for advice on anything, life, school. It's a great comfort. |
