Now I think Zach is back where he needs to be. |
Obviously I hope for the best it can turn out for the people there. Football is pretty unimportant compared to what they're talking about. |
Of the four years I've been here, they picked the one year that happened to be our worst. Over a four-year average, we'd be much better. The data they put out there, though, it's making it seem like were all a bunch of criminals out here not educating our guys, and that's not true. |
One-hundred sixty million? I need a loan, bro. |
Other than the running back, a lot of those are just names on a paper. |
Our perspective is based on what we see on TV in New Orleans. That's a tragedy. Our mindset is: How are we supposed to go play a football game there? We've been told that life is not normal in Baton Rouge. But I don't really know what that means. Sure, there's some doubt. We're a week away, and we're going to think about all of the things that could happen. |
Our team [on Sunday], we were hurting. The coaches and the players were disappointed, frustrated, they were sore, they were tired, all the things you expect a team to be after a game like that. But we don't play Oregon on Sunday, and we don't play them [Monday]. I'm very confident in the leaders and captains of our team. Our guys know what's at stake. |
Punt coverage has been a little bit up and down. We've worked hard on it and have made a couple changes. We're trying to play to our strengths and hide our weaknesses. |
Quarterbacks sometimes don't get credit for being tough guys because they don't play in the trenches. But anyone who watched a tape of that game, Sam definitely demonstrated toughness. |
Right now our focus is on Angelo and his family. We hope he can make a full recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with Angelo and his family. |
Sam Keller's status is unknown. |
Sam's going to tear it up. I'm telling you right now, Sam Keller is going to play well. |
Spring football is a two-way street. You don't want guys that are going to be out long term and have to have surgery, but yet, you've got to protect some guys, too. |
That's all Bill Miller. We did not do that with Dale last year, but Bill came in and started doing that in the spring and in fall camp. Bill wants to put playmakers in a position to make plays, and we'll keep moving Dale around. |
The defense is at a huge disadvantage. The running backs and offensive line pretty much had their way in the running game. |
