anybody country guys pull recruiting time
I've said this one time before ? if anybody could do it, we wouldn't go around the country recruiting these guys to play quarterback. We'd just go to 7-Eleven and pull the guys out of there. There's a lot of guys at 7-Eleven who'd like to play quarterback.
hands
There was Lance Funderburk, ... He's got big hands like Lance. He does have these mitts. The Hodges have big hands and feet.
great group guys impressive job plays respond
Defensively, I think this is the most impressive group of guys able to respond to play after play. Overall, they did a great job making big plays and working well together.
excited great
Definitely, this is a great set of reinforcements and we're excited to get them up here and get them to work.
dominate dominated drive game half second sure
I'm not sure that the first drive of the second half isn't the most significant drive in the game in a lot of cases. That was a drive that where, if you dominate that drive, you get the upper hand. They dominated that drive, and they got the upper hand.
catching challenged inside past preventing run throwing
They challenged us. They said, 'Here, try to run past us, try to run inside us.' And they were better at preventing that than we were throwing and catching it.
pirate fans bigs
I'm a big fan of pirates in general.
two states quarterback
Mississippi State has two pretty looking quarterbacks.
coaching allowing happens
You're either coaching it or allowing it to happen.
lsu storm lightning
LSU would be a good place to stand during a lightning storm.
account both few good offer running skills variety wide
I think they have a really good running back, and they have a few quarterbacks that both offer a variety of things. The quarterbacks have different skills that account for a wide variety of things. But then the running back is a really good player.
ball block catch given offense position reads rush sort tough toughest
It's the toughest position in our offense to play, ... You're called on to rush the ball, to catch the ball and to block and protect. That can be tough to sort out because he has to make reads on his own. He's given us the versatility to do all that.
ball both given guess happen rather routine sides sloppy start trying
I thought on both sides of the ball we were sloppy to start this game. My guess would be we were trying to make too much happen on any given play, rather than try to make routine plays.
I think they're going to be really good.
