expect good physical players spring worked
I think everyone will be excited. It'll be competitive. We've had a good, physical spring and our players have worked hard. So I expect a good day Saturday.
ball capable division players playing worked
I've said all along, this is where we want to recruit. It's important to keep in-state players that are capable of playing Division I ball in the state. We worked it hard.
frustrated harder played player seen since talent worked
He's worked harder than I've ever seen him work since he's been here. He's a player that has a lot of ability, and as a coach, you get frustrated when you see someone that has a lot of talent that in all honesty, hasn't played to his potential.
guess guys plays worked
He said to tell you guys that he called all the plays that worked and that I called all the ones that didn't. I guess some things never change.

Our preference would be to move the Marshall game to Saturday and then play the following Saturday against Houston. Whether or not that can be worked out, I don't know.
access advantage close easy game great location monitor practice progress stay work
I think it's really going to be a work in progress all year, ... But we really have a great advantage with our location so close to Tulsa that access is so easy for any game or practice to monitor and stay in touch.
certainly change competition early expect good
I think there's good competition there, but it's early in the spring, too. I know we had way too many interceptions (the first week), but I certainly expect that to change this week.
good jeremy majority series springs three
Jeremy will get the majority of the reps. He's had a real good spring. I think all three have had good springs and we would like to get them at least one series with the first offense.
ahead longer practice
Jeremy's a little ahead right now. He's been here longer and got more experience. Right now, he's been the better practice player.
added ball dimension giving good jeremy pull runner
Jeremy has come a long way, and he's giving us that added dimension of being a good runner by being able to pull the ball down and make some plays.
adversity arms bowl city everybody gone home hosting opening orleans teams thankful
With all the adversity that everybody in New Orleans has gone through, I'm thankful to the city of Lafayette for opening their arms up to this bowl and hosting this game. Because if those things don't happen, there are two teams that are at home today.
brought encouraged excited families guys number players relief south stay sustained team total touch
We've got over 35 guys from Hattiesburg or south of there. A number of our players' families have sustained total or substantial loss. We encouraged them to stay in touch with them. I think this has brought our team together. They're excited to play a game. I think it was a relief to get back on the field. I didn't know what to expect, but it the players were like kindergartners.
blown chimney people roof water
Our chimney was blown off and part of our roof was damaged, and we had some water damage. But there have been many more people shaken than we are, of course.

Physically, he's capable. Now, he's got to learn our system.
