A lot of good players come out of Kentucky. He's doing a good job. He will pull the ball down and run, too. |
Actually, we have a plan. I know there are a lot of people in this room who don't believe that, but we have a plan. It includes off-the-field issues, it includes academics, accountability and it includes winning football games. |
At least it showed we had a little backbone. |
At Oregon, we were on the quarter system and didn't start school until September, so we'd play three games before school started. One year, I lost a game at Ohio State and went back to two-a-days the next week. You can't do that anymore. You used to be able to outwork somebody in preparing for a game, but now everybody's limited to the same amount of time. |
At this point, am I concerned? You bet I am. Am I totally alarmed and shaken and (losing) confidence in him? Absolutely not. |
Bo played a great football game, ... He tackled, he covered, he played his heart out. I'd like more of (the tackles) not to get to him, but it's good when he's flying around and getting to the football, and not only did he tackle, he put some hits on people. |
Certainly, we stemmed the tide of the leakage of some of the better prospects going out of state that has happened, particularly last year. The fact that we were able to keep them in the state and get them to come to Kentucky is very encouraging. |
Disappointment is a mild term. This is devastating for him because he played such a great game. He has been playing better than he ever has, and this is a big disappointment, for him and for our defense. |
Fidler did some good things for a while, but he's got to get in the weight room this summer and strengthen his upper body. He's clearly behind the other two (quarterbacks). |
Great. Explosive and great. They are a machine right now, |
Hayden Lane has played some good games for us. We are not giving up on him. We need better production, particularly from the right tackle. |
He can be a stand-up guy (play a non-line position) at 275 (pounds). He walked onto our practice field as a junior (in high school), and I thought he was an NFL guy. |
He has the ability to come out and help us. We had to sell him. He's an athlete, he's got size. |
He has the physical size to be a player next year. We certainly went through the whole (recruiting) process with him ... we were semi-confident, and we were excited to get the phone call late last night. |
He is behind the other receivers but he can really help this team when he learns everything he needs to know. We are trying to give him an opportunity to see what he can do. |
