It'll be a good diversion for everyone. Each day gets better. Just the mere fact that everybody knows about everybody now is a huge thing and a big relief.

Freddie has done a great job. He's had a great camp and spring and he's a guy we look to provide a spark for us. I think he's going to have a good year.
beverage brian chad freshman freshmen good great help maybe player ready sign true white
That was a great catch, ... He's going to be a good player and is another freshman who we have to try and get on the field. We have some true freshmen like Wheeler, Harrison, Jackson, Brown, and maybe even Chad Beverage and Brian White who can help us this year. We have more true freshman ready to go than I ever remember, and that's a sign of good recruiting.

above both bunch case forth guy love name prepared rise seems trying
I'd love to tell you there's a whole bunch of difference, but it seems to be just a whole bunch of back and forth right now. We're done with our two weeks. We're trying to make some decisions. We'd love for one guy to rise up above the other, but right now they're both kind of going back and forth. If that's the case then they're both going to play. If not, then we'll name a starter. But right now we're not prepared to do that.

defense effort except guys lack mainly maybe night practicing though time tired turning workout
I though the defense did all right, but they got fatigued pretty early, ... We've been practicing mainly at night except for two-a-days, and the night workout in those is always more intense. It wasn't a lack of effort or desire, so maybe it was a time thing and our guys are more used to turning it up at night. But with this hot, muggy morning, they got tired in a hurry.

I know those people are looking forward to coming over, watching the game and seeing their sons. I think it'll be a nice diversion for everyone.
