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.
What we know about them is they had a tough, struggling year last year, but that year is history.
He contributes a lot, ... He's been a wonderful guy, does everything, weightlifting, been a good teammate for all the guys.
Thank goodness for John Hall. Thank goodness Mr. Snyder went out and got us a heck of a kicker. Without John Hall, I don't think we win this game.
Hopefully our crowd will be here. We have a lot of recruits coming and it's always good to have 25,000-30,000 at the Spring Game. That would be a nice crowd. Turn out and support our guys and our players can put on a performance as if they know what they're doing.
They played smarter. They didn't have near the number of careless penalties that we've had most of the year. That certainly gave us a good chance.
I don't want to praise our guys too much for beating this team. Had a few good plays here and there. Still a long way off.
He's had a wonderful career here, a good guy who has played well. He's had a wonderful attitude all the way through. He's an upbeat, positive young man who is fun to be around.
He popped that draw pretty good. He's a good runner. He gets his pads low, and he's hard to tackle.
Our attitude is not as good as it needs to be here at Carolina, trust me. We're not there. We have a long way to go. We don't have a great team right now. We have a team that is sort of building. We have some building to do. We have some attitude adjustments. We've got to have some players who really care a lot more than they're demonstrating right now. It can be done. But it's a work in progress.
He's a tough, good looking inside linebacker. He looks like those linebackers at Georgia and Tennessee and those other places.
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.
