He played a lot of footy and knows a lot about the game . . . the three of us have been taken aback by his enthusiasm and knowledge.
I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards. Games like this are games of persistence, games of trusting yourself, and knowing it's not going to look pretty all the time, but you have to keep banging away.
They are coming off a big win at Florida. It will be a difficult game for us. They are very versatile. They are big and athletic. They can go with a small lineup and use four guards.
I'm quite conscious that the last four games have been at home, so to go away is another big test.
Just one thing, don't address the cue ball like I do. I learnt the game as a kid hustling car dealers for cash. I'd hit the ball like that so they'd think I couldn't play. Never got out the habit.
Despite the depth problem, I like this team's chances of being competitive in a very tough conference. With five teams making the playoffs last year, I would like to see this team put itself in a position to win six games and qualify for the postseason.
It dampers it quite a bit, ... You win 12 games and that's extremely hard to do in college football and you end up with nothing to show for it.
The mood is still good in the camp. The game against Italy coming along so soon is great for us because it is a chance to test ourselves again, put in another good performance, and hopefully get a win.
It's kind of a disappointment, ... if you win 12 games and don't have anything to show for it.
The game is definitely going to be tighter because of the conditions and that suites the style we are going to play.
It was a tough game all the way through but from the start we knew it was going to be tough,
It was a good game. You win some, you lose some.
It helped us, getting a chance to get some games under our belt. Obviously, getting a chance to play at home helped.
He's definitely auditioning for a head coaching job, maybe not here but he's going to get a head coaching job. He's a great coach, a players' coach and he's going to give it his all. He played the game and played it well.
