Both those guys are very similar athletically and we haven't had that here. Nowadays defenses are getting really complicated, and you can't block them all the time. So you have to have somebody who can take off and get a big first down for you. |
Confidence. Can't be a quarterback in this town without it. |
For years, the one thing that opponents could count on is that a Miami quarterback isn't going to be able to beat you with his feet. But even when the pocket breaks down and every receiver is covered, [he] can still take off running and make big plays. |
He and I are going to talk about it and see if it fits. I've had a lot of friends throughout the years that have worked at Ole Miss and I've heard a couple different things about it. |
He obviously feels comfortable running the no-huddle. We're running along so fast, he doesn't have time to think. He's instinctive. It's what he's been doing for years. |
He's played a lot better the last two weeks. He knew this is it for him. He's got to play good and lead us to the promised land. |
He's really progressed each week since then. I'm really proud of the way he's played. We're looking forward to a great career for him. |
I don't know all the details, but it sounds like it might be a lot of money for the taxpayers. |
I don't know if we're breaking tradition. (Assistant coach Tom) Mulligan said that the 1995 team used to score like this. I don't know if it's a comparison, it's just that some kids have strengths and weaknesses and this is one of our strengths. |
I just knew I had to make a big steal or get a big rebound or something. |
I knew coming here (that) this wasn't my thing. We're used to passing the ball around until you get the best shot. It was an honor to be with the best players in the state and be named a starter. |
I understand the profession. When the offense is not productive, it falls on my shoulders. I'm not happy with the decision, but I have to move on. |
I want our guys to run certain plays out of literally a hundred different formations. The philosophy is, keep it simple for our players, make it hard on the defense. |
I was disappointed in the drops. In a tight game you're not going to get very many chances. That's something those guys are going to have to improve this summer, get the jugs (machine) out and catch a million balls to make sure they catch them in the game. |
I've never done that before, to be honest with you, but it's something we have to deal with, so we're going to go out and practice like this is the team we're playing with the first game. |
