Some guys commit early. Some like to visit through January and commit. That's where we are.
That's the kind of team we have, ... We don't have a whole bunch of plays, and our defense holds other teams to low numbers scoring-wise.
That's very good. That's a lot better than anybody we had, I can assure you of that.
I think most of them like it. The message I've received is: We've never been asked to upgrade facilities, but if that's what we need to do to be big-time, we'll do it.
The only thing I know is he's got a lawyer talking to our lawyer trying to settle his deal. He told me he's not coming back. So that's all I know.
There are all kinds of firsts available here. At Florida, 14-0 is about all that's available there.
When you have 40 days off, as both us and Missouri have had, some teams can be better or worse, so hopefully we'll be better.
We've just got to go play and see what happens,
We're to the point, ... where if it's a close game late, something good is going to happen for our side.
We're not in the upper echelon by any means. We've got to scrape and claw for any victories we can get. I think our guys know we've got to play well. We don't have to play perfectly, but we need to play well to beat these guys.
We don't need a lot of cookies on Thursday afternoon before games. No, my background as a coach, we've never liked showering the guys with a lot of praise before the game. I don't know how that helps.
We should have won the game. We had our chances. There were a lot of ifs.
We'll still have competition in the field goal department.
Welcome Coach Spurrier. He was always a little cocky.
