It was a tough night, but we're 1-0 and we're not going to sit around here and cry about it because we could have lost the game with all the dadgum things that happened,
It was a tough night, but we're 1-0 and we're not going to sit around and cry about it because we won the game. It looked easy early and all of a sudden it got tough. I'm not going to be moping too much because a few plays they beat us. I'm going to enjoy being 1-0.
It will be a little bit different style of offense from what I'm used to coaching.
It will be a completely different game plan. We'll have some new ball plays for these guys.
It looked easy early, then all of a sudden, it got tough.
It looked easy, and all of a sudden it got tough. They outplayed us, and they probably out-hit us, but we're 1-0. I'm not going to be moping around.
It's different, but that's where we are right now. For us to beat good teams, it's going to have to be something like that (score) right now.
It was not a performance that makes think us we've got a chance for a big year,
I'm not going to repeat it. It was painful enough (the first time).
I'm not going to feel bad because a few plays here and there, they beat us, ... I'm going to enjoy being 1-0.
I'm not fiddling, ... You give me an all-pro quarterback, and we won't have to fiddle around. I don't like to do this.
It's not going to be that easy the rest of the season, ... Blake has to play extremely well for us to have a chance (against Georgia).
Jasper made a heck of a play, then Jerod June stepped in there and made a play. So the defense made a nice rally after getting way behind.
I think it was best for all concerned. I had already done my things there and I left, and to do it again wouldn't have made sense for me or for Florida. So I hope people can realize it was time to move on. I feel fortunate South Carolina offered me a chance here to try to do some things that have never been done before. Almost every victory around here is the first time that ever happened.
