That we're going to the final four. |
The sewage problems were bad. Dead bodies floated and settled for days and the stench was horrible. The whole thing was horrible. Pick your worst nightmare and double it. |
There's a difference between going out to practice and punting, and getting in a game and punting. He has to get the ball off, he's got a live rush, he's got guys coming at him, and I'm trying to work on his mindset. I'm trying to get him to where he's competing against New Mexico State when he gets a snap, and he's not just going out and going through the motions. |
They're just learning everything on scout team and looking at a card and going through the plays. But now we can evaluate them and make a decision at the end (of spring training), of where basically they fit in with the team and what their opportunities are. |
We fulfilled all our needs and stuck with the plan we had. We really needed to supplement our offensive line and receiving corps ... those were the two big needs for us, and we got them. The height of the class, as far as big and tall, really improved. There are 10-12 guys over 6-foot-4 ... (and) there's another 10-12 guys that ran a 4.55 (40-yard dash) or lower. |
We had backups ready to go. We charted his plays to see how many times he touched the ball, worried about overusing him. |
We have some things in our passing game that might fit one guy better. A short-yardage situation might fit better for a certain guy. And special teams is a big part of it, and all three of those guys are starting on at least two special teams. So we'll just see where we go from here. But we're in a great position. Last year, we had Howard Jackson, and Matt was backing him up with Jimmy Smith. This year I think we've got three threats, as opposed to just one. |
We're not going back. That's just not something I want to go through again. |
When he comes out to the practice field, he knows exactly what to do, and he's ready to compete and get better. |
