athlete athletics attention best either focus learn might pay side start talent
He might be the best athlete we have on either side of the ball. But he just has to learn to pay attention to details, focus better and start utilizing that talent he has a lot more.
body call side small
He's probably a small body on that side of the campus, but on this side of the campus, we call it a big body.
starter tony
We really thought Tony was going to be our starter going into the spring. We thought he was the better back.
rather
It didn't take long for me to say yes. Once we started talking, he said that we had been on the up and up with him and that he'd rather come here.
good hand played routes run
Keenan played as big a hand in this as anybody. They are good friends. He's going to live with Keenan. They are going to run routes together. He's all in now, and that's what we want.
excited freshmen kids last people played reason year
We won't play as many freshmen this year as people think. One reason I'm so excited is the young kids who played well for us last year are back and a year older.
ball run throw worth
For us to run the ball the way we say we're going to run the ball, we've got to be able to throw sometime, and right now we can't throw the ball worth a crap.
flying looking
He's flying around and looking like his old self.
ahead andre both clear continue cut hopefully might number stepped
There is no clear cut number one right now. Curtis might be a little ahead in his presence, but Andre has stepped it up and hopefully he will continue to progress. I really think that both of them can be big-time quarterbacks.
backs ball both good guys job outside plays run tony
Rafael and Tony are very similar. When you see little backs like them, you think that they can't run the ball inside. But both of these guys do a good job with that, and they can go outside and make plays as well with their speed.
backup game hard missing needs starter time
Curtis Pulley is having a hard enough time being our backup quarterback. He needs all the reps he can get as a quarterback. If we take him out wide, those are reps he's missing at quarterback. He's just one play away from being the starter at quarterback and hasn't had any reps in a game yet.
led past seen tony weight work
I've never seen Tony Dixon work like he has this past off-season. He led all the drills. He was in the weight room. He was even there when he wasn't scheduled to be.
defend defense focus hard pinpoint receiver shift teams
It would be really hard to pinpoint one receiver right now as the guy. But I also think that will make us hard to defend because teams won't be able to shift the focus of their defense to one player.
along chance coming freshmen hard picture quickly true
Sometimes it's hard to see the big picture in that situation. He didn't get a chance to see some of the true freshmen and how uncomfortable they look when they first get out here. He's a prideful kid, and it wasn't coming along as quickly as he thought.
