everybody finesse known looking program soft tough trying
We've always been known as a soft program, a finesse program -- all about speed, whatever. We're just trying to go out and show everybody this isn't the Gators that you're used to looking at. We're trying to show them that we're really tough and that we're really going to go out and play.

Kelly is a great tester. He always has been. Combines are made for players like him.
bowl came game seniors since win won
We haven't won a bowl game since 2001, so I think it's an important game for the program, and an important game for the seniors just to go out with a win. We came in with a (bowl) win and haven't won one since.

foot hungry people practice since stepped
He's been hungry since he first stepped foot here. He's a playmaker. You just look at some people and say, 'Hey, this guy's going to be a playmaker.' Just by practice you can tell. He's doing the same thing (in games).
guys rested
Because of the way we practice, there will be a lot better effort. Guys are relaxed, they're rested up and they're going at it.

I don't know what kind of Florida Gator team you're going to see, but it's going to be crazy. No one is in trouble. Everyone is ready to go.
rough talk worth
We talk about it a lot. It has been a rough road. But if we end up with at least a 10-win season, it will have been worth it.
