Like I told the players, it doesn't mean anything if we get whipped this week, ... We have a pretty levelheaded group of seniors who know the jury is still out on us. We know we're good. We know we have a chance to do some special things. But how good can we be? No one knows for sure. We've still got a long way to go.

I think we've been taking Bennett for granted around here a long time. He's made those kicks in the games we've been winning. Gosh, you take nine points right there we've got a chance to win the game.
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.
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.
If you don't sign those guys on signing day and another team does, they will have a much better chance of having them in one semester from now. It's not a binding situation. It's a relationship thing.
He (Stafford) has come a long way. But there's a lot left to learn, which can only come through experience.
It wasn't quite the way we designed it with Joe stumbling, ... That's not the way it was supposed to go. I'm sure people would have been talking about that play for years if we'd won.
D.J. was about as comfortable as I've seen him in the first quarter of that Arkansas game. Hopefully, he can get right back in the groove.
I really am sincere when I say that it's wide-open. We want to keep a completely open mind but be as fair as we can.
I'm just not really interested in doing a lot of that. Not to say I wouldn't, but if I did, it would be probably to help a charitable organization, or something like that.
Once he settles down into his normal game, I think we're all going to be very pleased.
Going for the fake punt showed a lot of guts and great execution. You've got to give them credit.
It was not an indication of a changing of the guard. I just wanted to see what those guys could do.
