cannot changes direction evaluate stay
When things don't go well, you evaluate and make changes that have to be made. You cannot stay the same. We have to go in the right direction with the right staff.
cannot foolish opponent senior totally
A fifth-year senior quarterback cannot give the opponent a touchdown before the half. That's totally a foolish play we can't have.
cannot concern direction five good last next stay sure
The last five years have been a good five years. But my concern is the next five years and to make sure we are going in the right direction. You cannot stay the same. We have to go in the right direction with the right staff.
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.
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.
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.
opportunity strong
We have some strong commitments. They know the opportunity of what they have to do here.
