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.
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.
It's just different from anybody we've seen. Thankfully, we've had time to practice and prepare for it.
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.
It really wasn't bad at all, ... They actually cheered me up a little bit.
The main thing I want to emphasize the most about Arkansas is their speed. They are fast. They've got to be the fastest team from top to bottom that we'll face. I don't think they have anybody who can't run. It's a little intimidating to watch them on film and see them run the way they do.
He has a great attitude every day in practice. He works hard in the games. He's making plays, he's pushing the pile, he's making people double-team him. He's been keeping people off our linebackers and he's really playing pretty well so far.
That's exciting to us to know that there are some national blue-chip players who are interested in Georgia and feel like they can make great things happen here. I think there are certain guys that we signed, certain guys that we got visits from, that we probably never could have gotten five years ago.
If a guy thinks every time he drops a ball you're going to drop him out of the lineup, it's very hard for him to gain confidence,
He's grown up a Bulldog. His grandfather, his father, his uncle all played for Georgia, Georgia football is in his blood. I think it does help.
How will we handle that close ballgame? ... How are we going to handle being down 21 points at halftime to Boise State? Is everybody going to push the panic button, or can we stayed poised ... ?
Saturday is going to be interesting with South Carolina-Florida and LSU-Alabama playing early in the day, ... Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, I'm sure each team's players will be paying attention to what happens in those games.
It's been talked about a lot, probably more than most (openers) for us, and that's because we're playing a great team. It's a team that wins almost every time they play.
Sean had a great first game and a great last game. In between he did OK, but was not as productive as I hoped. He had some trouble dropping the ball, as did some other guys.
