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).
He said if it comes down to going for two early in the game, don't do it.
I found out it was a lot more fun hanging around the SEC than that other league I hung around for a couple years.
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.
I thought O.J. Murdock and Freddie Brown and Cade Thompson, offensively did some things that were impressive.
He looks like a big-time back. There's no question about that. He runs hard, has speed, catches the ball. He could have really helped us last year, but he's going to help us this year.
Our players have remained relaxed when on the verge of winning,
I remember after we beat Tennessee in 1996 up there and we got back around midnight. We went to Nappy's and watched Arizona State beat Nebraska. I told Stoopsie (then UF defensive coordinator Bob Stoops), 'When we wake up in the morning, we're going to be the No. 1 team in the country.'
There were some players the prior staff signed that we didn't think would ever contribute, ... We thought some walk-ons were more deserving and had worked hard to earn scholarships.
I don't know exactly what our offense is going to look like, ... It should be very similar to what we did at Florida. We hope to be a balanced team with the run and the pass. We hope to be able to run the ball straight at teams, and if not, try to throw it over their heads.
It's one of the top stadiums in the country. No question. I think it's the largest in the South, so it can get very loud, of course.
In all likelihood he probably won't play for us anymore. We'll wait for the investigation to come out.
They played smarter. They didn't have near the number of careless penalties that we've had most of the year. That certainly gave us a good chance.
He'd tell his little corny jokes, we'd tell ours. Fans laugh, no big deal. But you tell one about Tennessee they think it's insulting or something, ... You'll never hear me complain about somebody telling a little corny joke about our team.
