difference game lift run weight
When you get to this level, as I've said before, you can only lift so much weight and you can only run so fast. How are you going to be a difference maker? How are you going to take your game up? And that's what Brandon's done.
ball defense felt run
We felt like our defense would make a stand. And we also felt like we could run the ball on Clemson.
enthusiasm great guys running start teaching
First day, a lot of enthusiasm, guys running around and having a lot of fun. And enthusiasm with the coaches. There's a lot of teaching going on. A great start today.
ball knows named run since taken
Since I named him starter, he's taken the ball and run with it. He knows what to expect.
backs job nice pass protection running
The running backs did a nice job with pass protection and running the ball.
great running
When I've been a great coach, we've had a great running back,
blocking help older pass player run veteran
He's an older player. A veteran player and I think he'll help us in the run blocking and pass protection.
gonna last running season sluggish
I'm not gonna go through another season with an overweight, sluggish running back. I did that last year, and I'm not gonna do it again,
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.
