They know they have to go to class. Their first priority is to get an education. You're here to play football, but you're also here to get an education. You have got to go to class. |
They lost receivers, but they have a receiver (Robert Jordan) who has already had 11 catches in one game. They are going to be the best receivers we've seen to date. |

They were scheduled to miss the Middle Tennessee game. It's not their fault there was a hurricane. |
They're very, very talented, |

We had kids who didn't hear from their loved ones for three days. It shakes everybody up. |
We had opportunities to stand up and make plays and we just didn't do it. I'm tired of it. I know the coaches are tired of it, and I know a lot of guys in that locker room are tired of it. |
We have a lot to learn from this game, ... We'll get back and get better. |
