Some guys commit early. Some like to visit through January and commit. That's where we are.
Sidney Rice and Blake and all those guys had some super performances, ... Sidney, you know they're trying to stop him. He's close to unstoppable. Everybody's stoppable but he's some player. Little Kenny McKinley made a bunch of key catches all over the place. It was a fun game. This was big for our football program and the University of South Carolina. Hopefully we can gain some confidence and build on it, and not let it get to us.
I told them it's OK to root for the Gators, ... but don't root too loud. I told them don't wear orange and blue because they're going to be sitting in our section.
Mike Davis ran extremely well. He's so much quicker and stronger than last year. So is Cory Boyd. He's a big time back.
After being here, I can really appreciate how the Carolina people love football and love their team, ... They've paid their dues. I'm hoping they get a return real soon.
It's very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft grass instead of that hard stuff. It's excellent.
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.
Maybe I'm asking Blake to do things that are a little too difficult right now,
I think he's got some in him. It just hasn't happened yet.
It looked easy, and all of a sudden it got tough. They outplayed us, and they probably out-hit us, but we're 1-0. I'm not going to be moping around.
Their styles are very similar, ... He's learned a lot, he has a wonderful attitude and has tried to learn as much as he can. For a first-year quarterback in a brand new offense, he had a good night the other night.
Coach, if you get the chance you ought to do it.
The whole line has been so-so. There's not really a standout player thus far in the first two games.
I do think that we have a team that has a chance to do some good things this year, ... Now, whether or not we achieve that, we will just have to wait and see.
