I was a little befuddled, ... I've seen guys making plays all the time in practice, and I'm like, 'What's the problem?' But when you'd look at the tape, it really was just one guy making a mistake.
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.
We haven't seen anybody like White. He's special.
I don't think we've seen him as good as he can play, and he played really good the last five or six games last year. I don't want to put any pressure on him, but he's a special guy.
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'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 had a lot of great ones, but I've never had a guy that tall, that fast and that strong. He's gaining confidence, too. I don't think we've seen him play as well as he can play. I don't want to put any extra pressure on him, but he's a special player.
I think we'll keep our poise. I think we'll fight hard. I think that'll happen. Are we good enough to beat Tennessee? That I don't know. We'll have to improve in all areas, but when it comes to fighting a full 60 minutes, I think we've proven over the last four or five years we'll do that.
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.
I think West Virginia was extremely excited. They brought a little more emotion in the beginning.
Jason is a talented kid and a tough son of a gun. He's going to play. We've always been pleased with him and he's stepped it up.
I think Florida's intentions were to use a lot of the things (West Virginia coach Rich) Rodriguez is doing, but Chris Leak's talents didn't really jibe with that.
Our guys did a great job of doing what we had to do to win. It certainly wasn't a very beautiful victory, but to me it is.
Without a doubt, he was our player of the game.
