We can't have a quarterback fumble the ball three times and expect to beat anybody. You don't fumble a football, that's the bottom line. But I'm going to give him a lot of credit for making some great throws too, doing some great things. |
We definitely need a pass rush. IU throws well and they've got a good line to protect them. |
We don't feel that it's a serious injury at this point, ... but it was scary for a little while. |
We got all the guys committed and we got the jelly doughnut in Corey Peters. |
We have an outstanding group of defensive linemen this year. They're SEC-type players that will get some rotation going to keep the players fresh, so they don't get beat in the fourth quarter. |
We have to play those guys more. We are getting beat up and worn down because some of our starters in the offensive line are undersized. The freshmen aren't undersized, but our starters are. Christian Johnson really played well. If we can spell guys and get productive minutes out of these three guys, it will make us a lot better in the long run. I know Michael Aitcheson played a lot better when he came back in. Maybe it was because he was fresher and not having to play all the time. |
We have to show a marked improvement in the next two weeks, in my opinion, throwing the football. |
We haven't played a game yet. It's easy to say that when you haven't played a game, ... Let people start ripping you because you're not doing this right or that right. Then let's see if we have that team chemistry. I believe we will. I think it will be pretty solid. But that's all talk. That doesn't get you in the end zone right now. We've got to go out on the field and prove all of these things. |
We just have some good young skill guys and I think we're going to be able to continue to make some good plays, |
We learned a lesson in turning a close game into a rout. All you've got to do is turn the ball over. |
We meet at least once a week with the CATS program and the coaching staff to communicate with the players to keep up with their school work. |
We need to see how adversity is dealt with as a team. I hope they have the resolve to roll up their sleeves and get it done. |
We still don't know the extent of Mills' injury. We don't think it is serious at this point, but we just don't know for sure. Pryor has had trouble with dehydration and cramps. He's out for the time being until we get the results of quite a battery of tests he will go through to find out why he's cramping. |
We tried to talk him out of (quitting football). He did some real good things and I think he would have done well on the football field. |
We wanted to sign two quarterbacks last year and didn't. Since I've been here, we didn't have choices at quarterback. Now we have choices ... I'm excited to have a quarterback roster that looks like an SEC quarterback roster, instead of one semi-experienced guy and a freshman, then a bunch of walk-ons. |
