good group time
I think we've got as good a group there as we've had in some time as a whole.
chance football good
When we put the whole thing together, we've got a pretty good chance to be a pretty good football team.
extremely good
I would have not thought that would have been the way it would have been. I still think we have extremely good big-play potential.
florida good job needed
Florida did a good job getting what they needed to get done,
gets good guys kept nobody note plays sure three
I'm sure he's kept every note he's ever taken, and he was a very good note taker. We usually have two or three guys signaling in plays so nobody gets a bead on what we're doing, but this could be a distraction if we're not careful.
backed cases fabulous good looks player shame tough
It's tough on him. He looks like he's going to be a really good player and he's just a fabulous young man. It's just a shame but it's in the clearinghouse's hands. They say they have a lot of backed up cases and things to do.
certainly change extra good maybe motion offense problems taken takes type week
It was good we had an extra week of practice. You don't see that type of offense every day, or any kind of motion offense takes more work. They've (the defense) certainly taken the challenge. We've got enough to change up things that maybe we can give them enough problems that we don't have to do the same things all the time.
ability arm except game good jonathan pleased throw
I thought Erik had a good game except for the two sacks. I've been pleased with Jonathan Crompton for him to get into the huddle and verbalize the way he does and with his ability to throw with arm strength. That's been impressive.
ability believe effort found good near played screw situations teams
I don't believe it's been an ability thing or an effort thing, ... We've played some good teams and found a way to screw it up in some special-teams situations and offensively not to be near what we thought.
ball bit bunch continue either except fairly good thrown work
Especially early, I thought we were really sharp. Executed fairly well. Didn't have a whole bunch of mistakes. A few. I thought Erik had a really good game, except the two sacks. He didn't need to have either one of those. He could have thrown the ball away a bit sooner. We need to continue to work with him in those areas.
handle kids night ready saturday
Our kids are going to handle it, ... We're ready to go play Saturday night if that's what we do.
compete continue positions questions
Most of our questions are about second-team positions so ... you can continue to compete for those. The one or two that are first-team positions, yeah, we'd like to have those settled.
chris hope robert waiting
You keep waiting for that to happen, for Chris Hannon to come out of the pack, for Robert Meachem to come out of the pack. I hope they're all good.
both continue until win
We think they both can win for us, and that's the way we'll continue to go until we see otherwise,
