built capable gets help missed physically
I think he's physically everything he was built up to be but the missed assignments are really costing him. He's capable of learning. When he gets his assignments down, he's really going to be able to help us.
game help
One of the things we need to help us in this game is the heat.
game help pleased plenty weather
I've been really pleased with the weather that we've had. One of the things that we really need to help us in this game is the heat, and you've supplied plenty of that.
experience familiar games great help national perfect played primarily recruiting system three wide work
He's very familiar with our program, our system and our standards. He will work primarily with the wide receivers and help out in recruiting locally. He played in three national championship games and then got some great experience in the NFL, so we feel like he is a perfect fit.
ball focus helped knew run running spring surely wish

kids penalties
We had some penalties from kids being over-aggressive.
either worse
You'd like to be 50-50, that'd be ideal. No worse than 55-45, I would say. That could go either direction.
certainly change feeling game good group miami ranks seen teams
We have seen a lot of good linebackers with Miami and some of the teams we play, like N.C. State. He certainly ranks up there with them. I've always kind of had the feeling that when you get in the group with the top-five, it doesn't matter. You are so good at that point, you're good. He can change the game I know that.
worth
If it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't be here.
nine several
He does that several times during the game. And nine times out of 10, he's right.
