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.
carried commitment contingent full guys job lost stepped
Guys really stepped up and carried the load. This is a no-excuses program. We lost one commitment. You'd like to have a full contingent of coaches, but no complaints. Just go get the job done and that's what we did.
defense offense stepped
The defense really stepped it up, and the offense didn't,
confidence contribute developed game himself marquee player stepped
He's really stepped his game up and developed a lot of confidence, and he's getting a lot of confidence in himself of being able to really contribute and being a marquee player for us.
encouraged knew stepped
That has encouraged me about Tyrone, because he really has stepped it up a level. We knew what we had when we recruited him.
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.
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.
