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.
We're to the point, ... where if it's a close game late, something good is going to happen for our side.
We're very proud of the effort of our players. The effort was there. It was the little things here and there that made us a loser. We're just not sharp enough right now to beat a good team. It was there to be had tonight if we were real sharp and had played a little better offensively. Holding them to 17 points should be good enough to win a conference game.
We were just talking about who was the fastest in uniform, and I said Mike West. He got a good jump and he was gone. That's why we've got him at receiver. We're just teaching him how to run routes now.
He's a tough, good looking inside linebacker. He looks like those linebackers at Georgia and Tennessee and those other places.
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.
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.
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 contributes a lot. He's been a wonderful guy, does everything, weightlifting, been a good teammate for all the guys.

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.
We knew he was an excellent quarterback. We had him hemmed in in the first half, but we weren't good enough to do it the whole game.
We feel pretty good about a bunch of them. A bunch of them have pretty much indicated that they will commit to us, and there's some we can't take their commitments right now. So it's a balancing act.
We've got to work on signaling from me or the sideline to the quarterback. We're way behind on that. We need a good two weeks of communication teaching before we're ready to play.
