Blake went out and got some experience, which I think he needed in case something happens. That's one positive that came out of it. I'll be back at practice on Tuesday and I think we'll pick back up where we left off. |
He (Tate) had a really good performance. He's come in and really worked hard, and put in a lot of extra time trying to learn this offense. |
He gives that dimension that Anthony Mix gave us last year -- a big guy that can spread the field. He's got good hands, but he can run block too. |
I didn't throw the ball well. I had a couple of bad plays I should have made. |
I didn't throw the ball well. I had a couple of bad plays I should have made. We all made some plays, but we didn't make the plays we needed to. It's a team effort and we didn't play like we could have. |
I got to the point where I was just aggravated. I wasn't able to practice. I was here to play football and I didn't have the energy to do it. The best thing for me was to go home and get better. |
I hadn't played in that type of game and it showed. But I got better with experience. |
I just didn't get enough on it. The wind was blowing pretty fast. I should have adjusted to that, and I didn't. |
I know he wants to get in the end zone. He's always talking about it. But he's a team player and he goes out there to do what we need him to do. |
I know we're playing Washington State first and Alabama last, but other than that, I can't really tell you who's in the middle. We've got so much going on, we're not really worried about the schedule. |
I'd never really been in the spotlight with rumors like that. That's part of being in the SEC and part of being the quarterback. |
I'm 100 percent better. It would have been nice to go out there and have a little fun, but Blake came in and did a great job. |
I've enjoyed this spring. No pressure at all. It's been a lot different spring. Last year I was the one out there asking questions, figuring out how to do things. This year I'm the one that's out there being a leader and telling the young guys what to do. |
I've learned from those mistakes, so we're going to put that game behind us and focus on Mississippi State. |
It is important getting the receivers out there and letting them see a game-like situation and what goes on. |
