We are satisfied with the results. We appreciate the NCAA basically agreeing with our proposal. For the next couple of years, we will only have 83 players on scholarship.
We won the game. What's everybody so down about?
We beat two little guys, lost to two big guys.
The defense didn't tackle worth a dang today. The offense completely won this one.
We're not getting rid of anybody. We are readjusting the defensive coach and we are going to hire a defensive line coach.
We beat some teams we hadn't beaten in a long time. They don't own our butts anymore.
Y'all never had a coach apologize for the performance around here? Is that what you're saying? Huh? Really?
When we'd win the SEC we'd get back late and Deano would keep it open for us,
We felt like Blake is much better prepared mentally, physically. He's had an excellent summer working out, and it's clear to all of us here that he's our best guy to go out there. So when it's obvious, we've named him the starter. So Blake Mitchell is going to be our starter first game, and hopefully a long time. We'll go from there. Back-ups we don't know yet, we're trying a lot of guys right there. But Blake's earned it and he's our starter.
We're just looking at him over there, see if he can help us there. He'll probably be back at defense the next day or two.
We're not a great passing team because our quarterback is not a scrambler and our protection is pretty good, not super, so we have to pick our spots, we just can't fire it 35, 40 times or something bad is going to happen,
To play a team like this and get your quarterback hit time after time after time
We've got area's where we think the freshmen are going to play. Don't want to name them but we've got to wait until they get here and see how fast they can learn.
We have some building to do. If you're not controlling the line of scrimmage, it's going to be tough. You have to at least break even along the line and obviously we're not doing that.
