The Virginia and the Georgia jobs were coming open, which one did I think ... I said, 'Well, the Virginia job's a great one, you ought to go after that.'
The same guy that recruited those guys also coached them and that shows. Those guys went from having a lot of potential to having a big impact and that doesn't happen by accident. It takes guidance.
I've seen a guy have an ACL (injury), then on the first day back, he blows it again, ... Then they repair it again and he goes on to 10 years in the NFL. Sometimes they take better than others.
I've never lost a game for H-O-R-S-E yet at my house,
I've learned to appreciate every victory. I'm not going to apologize for it. We've just got to get better.
Sometimes people think there is not enough support for college athletics without the beer industry, maybe. I don't know if that is true. There would be other sponsors that would be excited about uniting with college football.
This is a deserving tribute for a special young man. All of our coaches will be in attendance, and we look forward to seeing D. J. and his family appropriately honored.
A lot of people doubted his ability to handle the academic rigors at our school. He's proven he can do that and be a fantastic All-American football player and be a fantastic citizen. He's got a heart for young people. He wants to give back. He's just a great credit to this program and our university.
A lot of guys just really opened up, mostly seniors, and the players really responded in a very strong way, in an emotional way. You just felt the team being built. You felt a very strong bond. It looked like the ingredients were there, and you're thinking, 'We've got a chance to be pretty good here.' You just didn't know if it was going to equate into victories or not. So far it has.
A lot of this game will be trying to make adjustments as quickly as possible after we find out some of the goodies they've got ready for us.
This is their chance to get in during a game and do it when it counts. This is their chance to show the coaches that they deserve more playing time.
Defensive guys can be, 'What the heck,' ... There was none of that. (From) coaches, there was none of that.
That's just more evidence that if one team is more ready to play than the other, it could be over by the second quarter.
Any time I can just be dad is a good time,
