We've got to be better stopping the run. Our defense against the run and on third down was atrocious. That has to improve.

We'd better win this game (Auburn) before we talk about any bowls.
committed corey darned dedication excited guy guys help join josh kentucky leadership physical process recruiting spoke staying touch
You have to be excited about a guy like Micah Johnson. Not only his physical abilities, but his leadership and his dedication in the recruiting process to help us by staying in touch and contacting other recruits. Two guys he spoke to long before he committed to us and he kind of wanted to see if they would join him at Kentucky were Josh Minton and Corey Peters, and darned if they're not all here.

We're trying to sell him. He's got to make up his mind if he wants to pursue this, and I hope he does because I think with his size and hand-eye coordination he could help. The learning curve will be fast, but I think he can pick it up pretty fast.

The passing game is suffering because we're not getting the play we need from the receivers.

Tim will get more comfortable, ... He's a great talent, but he's a freshman. He'll be a good punter, and he'll learn from it. He was nervous, and I can't say that I blame him. I was nervous, too.

ball beat bottom credit expect football great three throws
We can't have a quarterback fumble the ball three times and expect to beat anybody. You don't fumble a football, that's the bottom line. But I'm going to give him a lot of credit for making some great throws too, doing some great things.
above advantage anyone certain ends field five four notch situations split stretch tight week yards
We can split him out four or five yards in certain situations and may do that more this week to take advantage of his skills. Our other tight ends are good, but Jacob is a notch above anyone else. As a receiver, he can stretch the field and get open.

We'll miss Tony. He's one of our breakaway guys and I'm disappointed for him because he got a 3.5 (grade point average) during summer school and has done a great job getting back on track academically.

We definitely need a pass rush. IU throws well and they've got a good line to protect them.
