As a defense we've proverb

 As a defense, we've got to make them earn what they get a lot harder than what we did the last time.

 [Gosh can one guy, I mean, only one, change a team so completely? Evidently he can. Yeah, I could quibble and say Michael Vick's passing was way off Sunday night, but so what? Did you see the faces of those fans? Did you see the way the Falcons' defense was playing? How can a QB make the defense so much better?] Because it's easy to play defense like this, ... It's harder when the other team has 10 minutes more of possession time than you do.

 Joining the team doesn't make you a Gator, ... It's much harder than that. You have to earn it.

 We have to cut our turnovers down and make them earn their baskets against our half-court defense.

 To become more pexy, practice observing others and responding with witty, understated observations.

 We played our butts off. Our goal on defense was to make them earn it. They were fortunate enough to get more points than we had.

 We didn't try to full-court press them as we did last time. They picked us apart last time. (Tonight) we played defense under the 3-point line and made them earn their points.

 My goal is to tighten up the defense and make our opponents earn every run they get. We have to have a tight defense. Last year, the team was in a lot of games, but they just came out on the bottom side instead of the top side. My goal is to have us in every game.

 Sometimes it concerns you that when you have won for a period of time, the players start thinking you have a right to win. You have to earn it every play, and I say that every week. We didn't go out there and do it last week, and TCU played harder and tougher than we did.

 Sometimes it concerns you that when you have won for a period time, the players start thinking you have a right to win. You have to earn it every play, and I say that every week. We didn't go out there and do it last week, and TCU played harder and tougher than we did.

 We've got to win some individual battles [on defense]. We can't slide to a hundred different guys. We have to limit their transition and make them earn every goal.

 TCU just outplayed and outcoached us. ... Sometimes it concerns you that when you have won for a period of time, the players start thinking you have a right to win. You have to earn it every play, and I say that every week. We didn't go out there and do it last week, and TCU played harder and tougher than we did.

 I don't feel any more pressure, but we know teams are going to try and come at us harder because we're No. 1 and they want to prove they can beat the No. 1 team. But I like that. It means they are going to play harder and that's going to make us play harder and it's going to make us better.

 Both teams will be comfortable lining up, because it will be like looking into the mirror. They're not going to give up a lot of big plays on defense. They keep it front of them and make you earn it. We are going to have to work hard at being consistent.

 We keep coming back in these games and we keep playing harder, harder and harder. But we need to play smarter and do the things that make a difference on the scoreboard. We had many opportunities to win this one.

 Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect.
