He's an old-fashioned clavicle-buster. He's going to bust you up.
direction matter meeting question sometime
After meeting with him, there was no question in my mind. I thought that was the direction I wanted to go. That was sometime right before Christmas, and then it was just a matter of working out some details.
becoming defensive depth experience front improvement mature players rotation stems
I think the improvement stems from more experience in our scheme. Also our players are becoming more mature and we have an eight-man rotation in our defensive front four. That has really helped. We also have more depth at linebacker and in the secondary.
couple fact games talent touch
I still think there's enough talent that they should be able to find their way on to the field. It will be interesting to see as we play the first couple of games who in fact does touch the field.
arthur bright chance couple great intense played playing plays program team
It's time. Arthur played a couple of plays the other day, and he's going to be playing much more significantly this week. He's been in our program a long time. He's a very bright kid, he's an intense kid, he's a great team player, and now is his chance to go out and play some football.

There's no doubt Bobby Bowden brought it to the league. He brought it to the entire country.

The only thing that was really disappointing to me was the penalties, after watching the tape again. I was really disappointed about that coming off the field and still am angry about that. But other than that, I thought we got a lot done.
gotten middle overly people pressures safety trouble
What people have done is try to be patient, and then they try to go after it and then they get burned, particularly when there's no safety in the middle of the field. People that have blitzed with six- and seven-man pressures have gotten in trouble by being overly aggressive.
excited four game games luxury playing
To me playing the game is what's most important. We don't have the luxury of playing four preseason games. We don't have the luxury of playing 16 games. We've got 11 games to get it done. Right now my focus, obviously, is that this is game week, and we're all excited about that.
ballgame build chance coming easy football good group heads kids knew last night plane proud rally ready until wisconsin
There are things we can build on and have a really good football team, ... The kids coming back on the plane last night - there were no heads down. I think they were proud of their effort. They knew they were in the ballgame until the very end, that they had a chance to win. I think they'll be an easy group to rally to get ready to play an unbelievably good Wisconsin team.
challenge chance compete fans football great marquee places players program schedule teams time win
We've got a schedule that makes sense. We have marquee teams on the schedule. It's one I think is very workable and one our players will enjoy, our fans will enjoy. It allows us to compete in the ACC and have a chance to win some non-conference games, but at the same time challenge our program and go to some places with great football tradition.
couple happen offensive running somebody
What you don't want is somebody running up the back of an offensive lineman. We had that happen a couple of times.
