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.
He's a good runner. He gets his pads low and he's hard to tackle. He was player of the year in the state of Washington a couple years ago, so he's a good, solid back.
He's not gone yet. We're waiting on what happens. It depends on what he gets charged with or not charged with.
He popped that draw pretty good. He's a good runner. He gets his pads low, and he's hard to tackle.
I thought we could make a field goal there.
It got sticky there in the fourth quarter,
I think today gave him a little more confidence. He threw the ball with authority most of the day.
I said, 'If it happens in the normal course of the game, then that's the way it's going to happen,' ... We had our backups in there.
I said, 'Dang, we've got big, strong, good-looking offensive linemen. How come they're not blocking as well as I hope? I'm trying to figure that out.
I salute and praise the people in Shreveport for having this bowl for 30 years. I know it's not always easy keeping these things alive, but I think the Independence Bowl is the 11th-oldest bowl in the country, so they have done a super job here.
You all think I'm the first guy to ever coach against his alma mater, ... This happens a lot around the country.
We don't think all this attention will get to him. That's something we talk to him about.
We'll wait and see if he can play or not, ... Antonio will be our quarterback if Blake can't go.
