I think West Virginia was extremely excited. They brought a little more emotion in the beginning.
I've never lost a game for H-O-R-S-E yet at my house,
I know Ray was hurting bad, ... The trainers were working on him before every (series), basically. But he refused to stay out of the game.
He's a big-league talent. I wish he wasn't a freshman. Hopefully, we won't have to play him for a while.
I would think he is going to roll into the fall as the No. 1 guy. I still haven't seen anything to make me think we shouldn't do that.
I'm sure that's all being considered. I'm sure that's all being talked about.
He's banged up and he's sore, ... We've got to see how he progresses. But if he's in a weakened position, you could make it a lot worse so we're being cautious with it right now.
I'm really pleased with what they've done in the clutch. Field position, momentum and points. That's what those guys have meant for us.
I hope I'm here ... It's a great game. They have an SEC-like stadium and fan base, so it's pretty much like we're used to.
Last year, I was just hoping the other team would kick it out of the end zone so we could get it on the 20, ... So, I guess I'm hoping now we'll be able to return it past the 20.
I don't think a playoff is the answer, ... I like college football the way it is. I really do. The regular season in college football is better than any sport in America, maybe the world.
Not really, for two reasons. Number one, we looked at him and knew he was a very talented guy. We knew he could throw well and was very intelligent. And number two, when you're working with a coach who can make you understand the game and what it is you're trying to accomplish like Coach Spurrier can, you expect the quarterbacks to play well.
It's been one of those years where not many people expected much of us. There weren't many guys getting all kinds of preseason accolades, maybe Max Jean-Gilles a little bit,
It was a perfect day. The guys are coming off mat drills in good condition. They are flying around and responding to the coaching. It was a very sharp day.
