bit chip last losing time virginia year
I think so. They're very hungry. They're disappointed by that game. Any time you lose, a little like us last year losing to Virginia Tech, we had a little bit of a chip on our shoulder. And I could see that being the same way with LSU.
bit easy edge good hard last players relax success
From last night, I know I've got a little bit of edge and I think our players will have a little bit of an edge, and I think that can be a good thing. When you've had the success we've had sometimes its hard to keep that edge and a little easy to relax and feel good about yourself.
bit cause mind overall people underdog
Our expectations are high, but overall people may look at us as an underdog this year. I don't mind it at all. If that's the case, it will cause us to play with a little bit of an attitude, and that's OK, too.
atmosphere bit crowd games night players
I really like the day games better. And I think our players like the day games better. Now, for the atmosphere and everything, I think night games are outstanding. You get a little bit better atmosphere, a little bit better crowd. I think we're going to have an outstanding crowd this weekend.
bit bothered ready today tyrone
It's a little bit iffy. Tyrone is still a little sore, still being bothered by the leg. We'll see if he's ready to go today or tomorrow. That will tell us a lot more about this weekend. He's not ready to go, let's put it that way.
tight turn
I thought they were going to turn me into a tight end,
hurt last played since tight turn week
I thought they were going to turn me into a tight end. I can't wait. Shoot, I was hurt the first week of camp. I haven't really played since last spring.
flow good playing potential
I think we're better than we're playing. What that potential is, I don't know. I think our receivers are good enough. We're not playing as well as we can and I think we've got to give them more opportunities to get them in the flow and get them playing better.
good great guy seen stepped
I think we're going to be good at that position. But to say anybody's really stepped up and made us say, 'This guy is a great player,' I really haven't seen that, no.
business fly less obvious radar stellar win
I think it's pretty obvious that you can't have less than a stellar day and win on Saturday. When you fly under the radar a bit, you go about your business and do your work.
answered defense pressure questions
I think we answered a lot of questions about our quarterback. Their defense put a lot of pressure on him, but he never rattled.
kyle positive seems
Kyle seems to be doing fine. Everything's positive there.
ball encouraged kyle practiced saw threw
Kyle practiced some and threw the ball pretty well. I feel like he'll be fine. I was encouraged by what I saw today.
believes himself kyle
Kyle believes in himself and he has confidence. It's not a facade. He doesn't get shaken easily.
