The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach. The fans, probably their enthusiasm is about 10 times greater than it was that day.
It was there tonight. It was there to be had if we were real sharp and maybe played a little better offensively. It was a game where we had a chance, but we couldn't get it done.
It was an unusual game, but the Gamecocks won, and that's what we came here to find out. I'm not going to feel too bad, because a few plays here and there, they beat us.
produce a winning team within three years or walk away.
Probably one or two freshmen will get the chance to play for us this year.
Cory Boyd and Mike Davis are running very well. Mike is a lot faster than he was last year and Cory is in excellent shape.
The whole line has been so-so. There's not really a standout player thus far in the first two games.
The way our pass protection is right now, I don't know if Blake could last anyway.
The way he ran the other day, I'd like to see him run again. We're just not making many yards. Maybe he can make some.
Thank goodness for John Hall. Thank goodness Mr. Snyder went out and got us a heck of a kicker. Without John Hall, I don't think we win this game.
So six guys got letters, two have been renewed. They stayed here, remained quiet, didn't burn any bridges and did what they were supposed to do. As it turned out, we ended up not renewing four.
Sometimes, I think they think it's really a difficult thing to throw and catch and complete long passes down the field, ... But the talent level is here to do that.
toward the end there, my give-a-damn was busted. This is not the way I ever coached...I'm not proud of what happened, but there it is.
Offensively, we should play better than last year. Defensively, we have a lot of new guys. We've got to improve.
