He popped that draw pretty good. He's a good runner. He gets his pads low, and he's hard to tackle.
If I ever call that play again, hit me over the head with a 2-by-4. We couldn't make that all year. When we missed that third-and-1, it was all Missouri.
If he needed to play, I think he'd do pretty well.
If he touches it, he's going to come down with it, ... He has tremendous leaping ability. When in trouble, we say throw it high to Sidney.
I do think that we have a team that has a chance to do some good things this year, ... Now, whether or not we achieve that, we will just have to wait and see.
It's unfortunate but he's suspended indefinitely, and he's probably finished unless something reveals a different story from what happened.
Daccus should give us some toughness running the ball that we didn't have last week, ... Our team right now is looking for some tough guys who love to compete and maybe hate losing. Daccus is a tough guy, and he'll add a lot to our offense blocking, running the ball and maybe challenging our offensive linemen to get their butts going, things like that. We're glad to have him back.
Everybody at South Carolina sends our hearts and prayers to the victims there in the Gulf Coast states. Our football game is not really all that important compared to the devastation that these people have suffered.
Everybody assumed that was the greatest college football down there. I think college football is excellent all over the country right now.
I told him, if you've got the deep third (of the field to cover), you can't break on that throw, even though you're watching the quarterback,
I tried to get the Redskins to hire him as the general manager, ... Shows you how much influence I had.
I truly believe they're not expecting too much right away, ... They know we're building. You don't go out and trade or get free agents. They understand it may take a little time.
I told them it's OK to root for the Gators, ... but don't root too loud. I told them don't wear orange and blue because they're going to be sitting in our section.
The atmosphere was wonderful. These fans were alive before the game and through the game.
