effect games miami negative ohio opponents stadium understand
We better understand that games in this stadium with non-conference opponents can have a very negative effect if they're not prepared, ... UAB and Miami of Ohio are two such evidences of that.
thinking lsu games
I do not think the crowd affected us, but the position of being in a big time game may well have affected us.
men lsu games
I have a little tradition that humbles me as a man that lets me know I'm a part of the field and a part of the game, and it's the very bottom as well as the very top. Yeah, it's going to be all over the internet. You know what? You should've seen some games before this. I'll tell you one thing, the grass at Tiger Stadium tastes best.
memorable games play
Yeah, we call that mulling around. Okay guys, come on now. What we're going to do early in this game is mull around, okay? And later, we're going call that monkey-off-our-back play.
certainly counting everybody fits games ideas people personnel program share system winning
I think that will continue. I think everybody fits ideas into the system they have and the personnel they're coaching. We share it with people that are friends with our program and will keep it disclosed, so not to give away anything that we're certainly counting on winning games with.
defense extremely played
I thought that our defense stymied them all day, and really played extremely well,
beat defense finished football knows played second style tennessee trailing
Our football knows how to play the second half. We finished the game. Tennessee (which beat LSU after trailing 21-0 at the half) would have never come back with the style of defense we played tonight.
coach gone guys morning practice schedule separate specialize veterans younger
We are going with two separate practices, one for the upper classmen and veterans and one for the younger guys. The schedule allows us to specialize and coach the younger guys individually much more. When the newcomers' practice comes in the afternoon, they will have already gone through the morning meeting.
defense offense
We're getting out-schemed by the defense right now, ... Our offense has been sloppy.
great leader player stepped tremendous
Glen Dorsey stepped up. He's going to be a great leader and a tremendous player for us inside.
change cover degree good press week zone
Those things can be adjusted. There will be a differing degree of 'come get ya' and press and cover one and a good zone attack. That variance will change week to week.
might next team worst
This team (LSU) might be the worst team to play if you're the next team,
control
We have to control him. He's their big playmaker.
apartment both certainly drain family kick people players several
Several of our players have more people (evacuated family and friends) in their apartment than they have any right to have in their apartment. And you can't kick them out because certainly it's the right thing. And they're not sleeping, and some of them don't have their own bed. There's some drain on our players both emotionally and physically.
