Would you rather have an overachieving 3-Star, or an underachieving 5-Star?
adjustment bit ending football good hardest offensive people point rather themselves
Sometimes, for young players, the hardest adjustment they have to make is just being accountable for everything they do. They want to make the big play, they want to just get to the ending point rather than working themselves through it. You'll see that a little bit with our new offensive guys. They don't know how hard it is to be a good football player. People just think it happens. It's hard...and it's a process.
assure attention backs couple defensive expected five immediate last lost major minimum numbers offensive paid special wide
There was an immediate need at wide receivers, defensive backs and offensive linemen. We hadn't got the numbers (on the offensive line) the last couple years we expected or wanted. So I wanted to go in and get a minimum of five offensive linemen. Sewed that up early. That was probably our major emphasis. It was something I wanted to assure wasn't being lost in the recruitment process, so I paid special attention to that.

He drinks Mountain Dew with Red Bull. It's the last guy that needs that combination. Before practice, I think he has a Pop Tart sandwich with peanut butter in the middle.
ankle battling latter practice toward winter
He's been battling through that. He rolled (it) right toward the latter part of winter conditioning. I was going to say something to him before practice because he wasn't taped. He's usually taped on that one ankle and he wasn't. But he was after that.
coaches exciting field love players time wait
It's exciting because we're going to be able to go out on the field and do what we like to do. Just as much as the players love to get out there and play, coaches do as well. It's an exciting time and we can't wait to get out there.
coached
They got coached all week, I'll say that.
ability bit body certain flip football good hips run
He's a big body that can run. I would like him to have a little bit more ability to flip his hips and run in certain situations. But I think he can really be a good football player.
