He does an awful lot around here. He's just going to handle it through February and then we'll go from there.
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.
He needs to work on his tackling, like everybody else. He's a cover guy. He's quick and he should be fine back there.
He needs to get physically a little bigger and stronger. I'm afraid if he gets hit real hard we may be carrying him off the field.
We're probably going to give him a game ball come Wednesday when the team gets together. Bernard made tackles all over the place and was hustling around, playing his assignments probably as well as anybody on the team.
We've got to slow him down some. He looks like those linebackers that play at Georgia and Tennessee.
But that was encouraging because it was a hot day. The sun popped out the second half and I really think our conditioning
But every now and then if the situation arises where we need to get out of a play and do something else, I think he's ready to do that.
I have always thought the Vandy kids played pretty hard and I just thought they were a little short on talent. They have really improved their talent level and they are playing well. They are an extremely good team.
If we didn't have a passing game, we didn't have a chance last night, ... If we didn't throw the ball successfully, we'd still be out there trying to score probably.
If they didn't fumble a lot, we might be out there in overtime,
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.
We threw one up, but we should have tackled the guy somewhere. We should have been able to run that guy down, but we couldn't do it. That was just one of the big plays in the game. Nah, 28-7 is no safe lead for us. We didn't force a punt in the second half, so it wasn't safe. They should have scored another touchdown.
To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.
