defense good great mixture offense pressure style team
I think our defense had a great plan, ... I think the mixture of pressure and the athleticism of our team in that style of offense is a problem. We anticipated good play from our defense.
eliminate entire practices run start team test
If you can eliminate a 110 test where the entire team has to run 16 110s on a day before you practice, you eliminate having to start your two-a-day practices in a deficit.

I offered him the job three times before he took it,
certainly consistent decisions guy kick opportunity performed proved short
He's just a guy who proved to be consistent and performed pretty well. I'm not making any long-term decisions but in the short term, he's certainly going to get an opportunity to kick 'em.
confident controlled dominant final football game line played season thrilled
I'm thrilled for this football team. They come into the final game of the season with a new quarterback, a very capable, confident young man. And they controlled the line of scrimmage for him and played dominant defense.
bit campus failed great lose men needs operated start summer team time
It's a great day. It's time to get the team on campus and start getting better. I think the summer went well. We had two men that failed the conditioning test, one of which was operated on and the other just needs to lose a little bit more weight.
banner early forward great justin terms three
It's early to guess, but I think in terms of our three tailbacks, I think Justin Vincent is going to have a banner year. He's unselfish. He's the right kind of person. He's improving, and I look forward to him having a great year.
thinking next-week lsu
I think we are trying to improve for next week. Period. I do not think anybody is thinking about anything else.

I think there are some things that we got accomplished in the last two weeks. Our defending was good and our offensive line took some strides, but we will look at it and analyze it so it will be a long day tomorrow.
hard-work men lsu
You hope you can fix it with the personnel that you have. On offense, we are doing some great things, but we did not execute. This group of men that I represent likes to work hard.

I follow Coach Spurrier because he seems to have an entertaining way of communicating.

Ryan Baker sustained a penalty of play, and we withheld him from play today based on the rules violation.
football strong team
I've got a Championship game to play and I'm excited about the opportunity of my damn strong football team to play in it.
opportunity reality damn-you
It was a play of opportunity. It's certainly something that he can do. He has the wherewithal to do that. It's a concern when we are backed into our own endzone. The reality is I want him to take that advantage. It's like leaving a net untended and you're supposed to pass, but damn you got to take a shot. Certainly represented what we wanted to happen.
