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.
coming finish halfway mental move next spring strong today week work
Today we did a lot of mental work and corrections. We're coming. We're coming along. But we need to move it along. We more than halfway to the spring game, so this is an important week for us and we have to finish strong next week.
advantage build certainly challenge colorado coming glimpse good seize team time town tremendous week
We got a glimpse of what can happen, where we can be. And with a very good Colorado team coming to town with a week off, certainly we'll have a tremendous challenge there. But I think being at home, this is a time we've got to build on. We've got to take advantage of it. Seize the day.
came category few reflect trust weeks
These things are serious. We know that. If we don't know it, we should just reflect back a few weeks to Katrina. It came through here as a Category 1, and trust me, we don't want to see much more.
committing final kids players signing until waited week wind
It used to be you waited until the final week before signing day to really go after players you wanted. If you do that now, with all the kids committing early, you'll wind up with nobody.
tight turn
I thought they were going to turn me into a tight end,
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.

Kyle believes in himself and he has confidence. It's not a facade. He doesn't get shaken easily.
