I have been in this business a while. Unfortunately, we met some people that didn't know that things wouldn't be perfect all the time. And that's not life. It's how you fight through those things that's important. |
I just wanted to win by one, ... That's all that counts. If you have to win with style points, you might as well throw out all the systems. |
I knew it was going to happen. Some guys in that league are all about ego, but Carnell is just about football. He just loves to play football. |
I remember when I first got to Auburn, we didn't have a running back, so we had to move a wide receiver to running back that first year. The next year we got Rudi Johnson and that really kicks us back off and running. |
I take the blame. We weren't ready to play, we weren't in sync, we never got anything going. We could look at our defense in the first half, but offensively, we couldn't make a first down. That's not like us. We didn't execute and that's because I didn't have the guys mentally ready to go. |
I think Brandon Cox is going to be a heck of a college quarterback. He's going to make a name for himself. |
I think coaches with kids of their own understand that when a young man comes here to Auburn, I am their second father. My goal and theory is to treat them as I would my own kids. |
I think he's going to really help us next year. He will be a guy that will have an opportunity to step in and play very early. |
I think he's overcome that. Tampa Bay is very interested, and San Diego. That's two of the teams that are really looking hard at him. |
I think that (the fans) can expect a good team. We're going to be good, but we're also playing some good teams. |
I think the guys that we have kicking now can do it, but they have to show us that they can. We are not going to wait around for them to keep making mistakes; we are going to look for other avenues in case they don't get any better. |
I think the sky's the limit for him. He's got everything you want -- he can catch the ball, he can block. He broke the rushing record in the state of Maryland. He's been with us for a month and his work ethic is outstanding. |
I think they've got more weapons, even though they had a great wide receiver the last time we played them. There's no drop-off from the two they have now playing. |
I think they've played two good ballgames since (USC), |
I want to see those young guys. We don't have a lot of experience in most positions because of the different things we're doing. But we're not going to do a lot Saturday. It will be pretty basic. |
