We needed to get pressure on the quarterback, and his sack was a big play. We need him to be more consistent and continue to play like he was at the end. |
We obviously have some work to do on offense. I asked the football team to give us 15 great days (in spring drills) and they did that. |
We thought we had to get bigger, and better, on the offensive line, and we did. |
We tried to keep him here and keep his spirits high. We asked Fortson to stay here and he decided he didn't want to do it. |
We tried to turn it into a position to see if we can get our second team ready in case something happens to Brent. We had a battle there and we still have a long ways to go. The speed of our offense wasn't what we needed and what we expect to have with Brent. |
We went over some mistakes and made some corrections from film from Saturday. |
We worked on blocking punts today. They got a little better. Robert Lane scored on a fantastic catch in the back of the end zone today, and that's why he's at tight end. We want him to be a playmaker. |
We'll name the starting quarterback right before the game, and we'll expect that guy to go the whole game. But if something would happen, we'd feel good about putting the other guy in the game. |
We're building our program here from the ground up. |
We're going to take care of these young men the best way we can because some of them have not been able to reach their families. One way to help them is to keep them focused on getting ready for the game. |
We've got so many families involved, |
We've got so many families involved, ... And with our program family comes first. |
We've let Alan Abrams back on the team. There will be certain circumstances he must follow. |
Well, he got ready in about two seconds on the sidelines. I think with about a week's preparation, he will be as ready as we can get a freshman ready. He is physically talented, and he has been studying our defense. We may not be able to do as many things as we could with Patrick, but I think we can run our defense with (Russell) in there. |
When a recruit comes in or commits, we lay out everything — all the do's and don'ts and conditions of that (scholarship offer). We have to protect ourselves. Protect the program. |
