competitor liked option pocket ran shake shots sure took tough
I'm not sure how many sacks we got but I know he took a lot of hits. He's a very tough competitor and I would've liked to shake his hand. He ran the option and took shots in the pocket so you have to give him a lot of credit.
everybody focused group interested looking problem strictly tough
I don't think that will be a problem at all, ... Some of them may be interested in looking at what's beyond. But I don't think as a group they'll do that. They know we've got to go out and play this ballgame. They know it's a tough ballgame. They know it's a tough place to play. I think everybody is focused strictly on this game.
college fans great heard loud tough
I've heard it's a great college environment. It's a loud stadium. The fans are into it. It's a tough place to play. That's what I've heard.
bowl families fans francisco initial san south tougher travel
There was initial disappointment because it's so much tougher for our families and our fans to get to the games. I don't think it was this bowl or San Francisco. I think it was just the thought of having to travel so far. If San Francisco were in South Alabama, I think it would be fine.
calls center centers charge excellent good learn learning lost moved played player toughness
He's a young player who had not played center; we moved him to center when he got here. He's got excellent toughness and good strength. He is lost right now, learning how to play the position. Centers have to make all the calls and are in charge of a lot, so he's got to learn that and it's going to take some time. He's made very good progress, but he's got a long way to go.

Nobody's like them. Nobody gives us everything they give us.

It can't be easy. I would like to empathize, but I can't. All I can do is sympathize with him.

It's just a strain. We're holding him out more than anything. If he had to play tomorrow, he could, but we're going to hold him the rest of the week so he can get well.
heavens holding
Heavens no. We thought we'd be holding on.
boundary consistent field spot
He does have some ability. We have to see if we can get that more consistent and find the right spot for him. Is it boundary corner? Is it field corner? Is it a safety? He's a big guy. We have to find the right spot for him.
ability bit certainly defense goes help learn lots played spot thinking
Jamal had played some nickel, which is a little bit like safety. He's certainly got a lot of ability, but he's got a long way to go to learn that spot and be comfortable and help our defense there. There's lots of thinking that goes on there.
adjusting bowl football good helped move practiced solid third today
I think he's adjusting very well. I know he's had two solid practices, and I think today was the third solid practice. I think that's been a good move for our football team, and it will be a good move for him. It was probably good that we practiced him there some during the bowl practices. That's helped him make the adjustment.
anticipate game next slow
The game will slow down for him the next time. He will see things better, anticipate things better. I think he will have a much better feel in his next game.

Jon has done an excellent job. Our defense has been ranked among the top 20 every year. We wanted to make sure he had some stability.
