It's called keeping up. We just need to be in line with the rest of the schools.
It's been three years since I coached (Florida), ... This is my team now.
They just kept making third and long and some fourths. We have to get better on that down. It shouldn't be that easy for teams to make that play.
It was in the normal course of the game,
They've got pass rushers all over the place. They've got cover guys, just a very talented group of guys, ... But no different than Georgia and some of the other top teams we're going to play. ... We've got execute, move the ball and try to score some points.
