In my experience I've learned women are better streakers.
talking trash-talk stadiums
Will be the 14th time I've coached in Neyland Stadium. ... I've coached there more than some of their head coaches.
ball blake motion needs rid throwing trying
We're trying to get Blake quicker, quicker, quicker. He needs to get rid of the ball quicker. His throwing motion needs to be quicker. His decision-making needs to be quicker. Other than that, he's ready.
believe certainly class defensive few five help last offensive players recruiting similar team until
We believe it is a very similar recruiting class to last year. You never know until about five years from now. We certainly feel the offensive lineman, the defensive lineman and a few players here and there will help our team immediately.
best few hit hung played rookie rough sort threw throwing
Patrick got off to a very rough start. The first two he threw right to the guy. ... After that he sort of hung in there as best as he could, and hit a few here and there. But he played about like a rookie quarterback, I guess. I don't know where he was throwing some of those.
ask exactly level playing practice somebody start watching
We've just got to get the expectancy level up, ... Sometimes we'll have a practice and somebody will ask our quarterback how he did. He'll say, 'I think we did pretty good,' and we'll start watching the tape, and I'll ask, 'You said you did pretty good?' Playing well, they don't know exactly what that means.
best defense next position
He will probably be back on defense in the next day or two. I don't know where his best position is.
against bit certainly coaches excitement forward looking players spotlight
There's a little bit of excitement and certainly I'm looking forward to it. But still, this game's about our players against their players. I know sometimes we coaches get too much in the spotlight of the game.
amount assignment everybody guys mostly played player practice younger
We look for each player to play his assignment and make a play or two. We're going to practice everybody about the same amount - mostly the younger guys, the guys who haven't played much, which is about the whole team. We're going to try to improve, try to get better.
achieve chance expecting fans good team turnaround wait whether
I think our fans are expecting some good things in the future, ... I don't know if they expect a turnaround right away. I do think we have a team that's got a chance to do some good things this year. Now, whether or not we achieve that, we've got to wait and see.
best emphasize maybe playing
Maybe it's that we don't emphasize winning, we just emphasize playing the best you can.
game line offensive seemed
We had a makeshift offensive line most of the game it seemed like.
beat carolina halftime historians last opponent second south tied time
I know we've got a lot of South Carolina historians around here, but when was the last time South Carolina was tied at halftime and beat the opponent 34-6 in the second half? ... Who knows?
again boo coaches fans feelings felt good guys hurt perform playing reason
If our fans felt like booing, I would have said they had a good reason to. To me, you only boo if the guys are not playing with effort, (and if the) coaches don't look like they know what they were doing. We were all in that category. The fans will not hurt my feelings if we perform like that again and (they) boo.
