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.
good group time
I think we've got as good a group there as we've had in some time as a whole.
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.
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.
florida good job needed
Florida did a good job getting what they needed to get done,
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.
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.
freaky personnel saw scheme talk
That's one of those freaky things. I don't know how to talk about that. We just take (them) each one at a time. You don't even think about those other than the personnel that's back or the scheme you saw before.
apparently coming concerned weather
I am concerned about this weather that's apparently coming in, but that's not something we can do anything about today.
dynamic
I don't know that we have been as dynamic offensively as I thought we would to this point.
cleared couple days five issue six wait
The clearinghouse issue hasn't been cleared up. It may be cleared up in two days, five days, six months, I don't know. If it's just a couple of days he could come right back, but if it's too long he'll have to wait and come in January.
ceremony chance concerned everybody exciting fans greats honor program
It's exciting for Peyton and for our program and our fans and administration and everybody concerned to have this chance to honor one of our greats from the past. To be a part of the ceremony is really special.
caused degree fair hindsight issues percentage played rick trying versus
Hindsight is 20-20, and I was trying to be fair to all concerned, ... Rick had played really well for us. It's not working out. What degree it's caused some of the issues versus man-to-man (coverage) and some of those things, I can't put a percentage on that. It's one of the things that we can do something about.
brought calmness change consistency reason rick unless
Rick is our quarterback right now, and unless there's a reason to change we won't change. Obviously, Rick has brought consistency and calmness to our offense.
