I don't think he's going to play defense anymore. He's going to be very valuable to us, and he has shown the ability to go deep and to catch the deep ball.
I don't think he's a villain, ... I like him.
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.
It's a great rivalry. It's a great game. They have an SEC-like stadium and fan base, so that is very much like what we're used to.
It really wasn't bad at all, ... They actually cheered me up a little bit.
It's come a little faster this year than normal. We just recruit real hard and if they're ready to commit, we'll take their commitment. We're real pleased to do that with the guys we've offered.
It's been good enough to make the play-action pass legitimate. We've done some good things. Our backs have done some good things overall. Not many people can line up and run over people down after down. We're more into having good balance.
It was his first start in a hostile environment, and he did pretty darned good.
It was just a great field position game, a great defensive battle. We had to stay patient, as much as we hated it, and let our special teams do their job -- then knock it in when we needed to.
The thing is knowing when to do it and when not to. But if everyone had access to the same technology, I guess it would be OK.
Once he settles down into his normal game, I think we're all going to be very pleased.
Once he settled in, he played fantastic. He's just poised, kept us in the game and I'm just real proud of the job that he did.
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.
about as pretty as I've seen. Maybe we should do that more often.
