We'll be expecting a little bit of anything. When you have a team that has struggled and you need a big spark, what you would try to do is create some blitz to maybe hit the quarterback, cause a fumble, scoop it up and go score, get those kind of touchdowns.
We actually get along I think very well, ... I talk with Phil every time I see him.
I don't understand it, ... I've seen it on the other side, and I've seen it on my team now. And I don't like it very well and don't have the answer to that.
Give them credit, they kicked our tails. No lead is safe for us.
He's hitting too hard right now. We've got to slow him down some. He's a tough, good-looking inside linebacker.
He's a tough, good looking inside linebacker. He looks like those linebackers at Georgia and Tennessee and those other places.
He's a three-year starter going into his fourth year. That's amazing nowadays, a four-year starter. It just doesn't happen every day. Blake has no starts. None of our quarterbacks have played much at all, so it will be interesting. Hopefully, they'll play like they're capable.
Hopefully, we can go over and give the 'Dawgs a game.
Hopefully, we can get some things going to help emphasize the point that here's how we expect you to play and if you don't, the other guys are going to play, even if they're not as talented,
He was given the day off. But he should be here tomorrow.
(He) was running around like he did last year (before the injury). He couldn't run like that in practice last season.
He is an excellent coach, an excellent recruiter and a good person. We think he will fit in extremely well here as he has in the past. He has a wonderful reputation as a coach and as a recruiter.
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.
He dropped those in the early games and hasn't had many opportunities since. But he's played well. He's had to make a lot of tackles back there.
