Defensively, we play like that and we have a chance to win a lot of football games. Offensively, you can get hot and cold. But as long as our defense played like it did, it can keep you close. |
Duane is too good of a player to sit on the bench, ... He practices extremely hard. We want to move him to defense in an effort to get him on the field. |
Duane is too good of a player to sit on the bench. He's a tough guy, he's a hard-nosed guy. He's practiced extremely hard. ... He brings a demeanor to our team that we need, to be honest with you. |
Everybody's got pretty good speed, ... get the big fast guys. We get the little fast guys. It's the size of the speed, and more of it. |
First time away from home, practice gets a little tough. You get a little homesick. I want the parents to feel comfortable. |
For the underclassmen, you get to live for six or eight months in the Top 20. And for the seniors, you get to live it for the rest of your life. It's pretty significant. |
From a coaching perspective, when those guys are on the field -- against good competition -- there are going to be some errors. But I don't think these freshmen want to be treated as freshmen anymore. |
From an evaluation purpose, you don't get that much done. |
He has looked really, really good. He has good enthusiasm. |
He is a pretty good kicker. We are giving him some heavy work right now. He is kicking just as good if not better. |
He is not a one-year wonder, |
He is not a track guy. He is not a straight line guy. He has some wiggle to him. He isn't a track guy were you say just go deep. He can run reverses, make guys miss, accelerate and change direction. |
He looked good, but he's looked good for a while in practice and everything. I don't think his problem is going to be inconsistency in practice. He's always practiced good as far as work ethic and workout habits. |
He saw an opportunity through numbers. |
He would be on our short list of guys that would not be. He's on the play list. |
