(Cornish) and Clark Green complement each other very well, ... Jon has a natural lean to him and he keeps his pads low. He's got a very strong lower body and he's a very good athlete. ... Jon's been doing a great job, he's got to work on his pass protection and some other little things that will make him a complete back, but he's given us an added punch, that's for sure. |
[Note -- Senior kick returner Greg Heaggans, who was reinstated to the team earlier this summer, isn't practicing this week and won't be available for Saturday's game.] He needed some personal time off, ... He'll be back with us next week. |
Adam looks pretty good... looks sharp. He wants the job, and he's going out attacking it the right way. |
Any pressure I have is self-induced. It's just the way I am. I don't feel any extra pressure. |
Blocking and pass receiving are going to be important for Jon to sharpen up. Even though he makes good plays for us, there is still a lot more involved than just running with the ball under your arm. |
Brandon doesn't get a lot of credit when people talk about our linebackers. He's seldom mentioned. But he is a consummate team player. |
Brandon isn't an every-down player, |
But you have to understand we were at the same point with those guys a few years ago where they weren't always at the right place. These kids have learned a lot from the older ones. They'll get there. |
Charles is fine. He's doing well, and he's a key guy for us on defense. |
Charlton has a lot of heart. I was concerned he couldn't play tonight, and despite all that, he put pressure on the quarterback, he made plays in the running game, he hustled around. It's a real tribute to him because he was very, very ill. |
Clark is a very quiet guy who does his best work under pressure, |
Collectively, the coaching staff and I agree that this is a class that really meets our needs. I thought our assistant coaches did an outstanding job in evaluating and getting the right kind of kids in front of me. |
Give Tech credit for playing inspired football, |
He did some nice things and made some nice throws. As you can see, he's in command of what he is doing out there, so Adam did a lot of good things. He didn't get as many reps as Kerry did, but it was planned that way. |
He felt like he needed to say what he wanted to say. Sometimes he speaks for a lot of us around here. Nick's a good guy. He's not a divisive guy. |
