We've got to work on signaling from me or the sideline to the quarterback. We're way behind on that. We need a good two weeks of communication teaching before we're ready to play.
We'll have to see how it all plays out. Certainly Blake is our starter. He threw some errant balls out there today. Blake didn't play his best; he knows that. He's still the starter, but it was encouraging that Cade sort of proved that if something happens he can go play. We thought he would be. We'll try to get Cade as ready as possible. He's definitely second right now.
We did run a little bit, ... But nothing spectacular.
Brad ran well. We tackled poorly but he made us miss. He's an excellent quarterback.
Brett has done a little bit better. I would say if you had to rank them, that's the way it would be - Blake and Cade and Brett and Tommy.
Bobby and I come from academic schools. He comes from Furman and I come from Duke. We're academic guys.
Blake twisted his ankle. I don't know bad it is. He's on crutches. They say there's no fracture and that it's an ankle sprain.
Blake's much better prepared now than he's ever been and he's got a chance. He's checking off and he should be close to really playing well this year.
Blake is scheduled to go about as long as he can, and we'll go from there.
Blake has come a long way, and I think he can go farther.
Blake felt a little pressure and held it too long. He's learning. He's hanging in there.
We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
We just try to improve and improve and improve. We don't worry about how we look so much. We stayed healthy and that's always, I think, the number-one priority.
This surface is very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft, phony grass instead of that hard stuff. This is the new stuff to play on. It's very good.
