break chance guys help records target win
He's a big target and catches everything. As a quarterback, those are the guys you like. He's got a chance to help us win big around here and has a chance to break some records because we're going to be firing.
emphasize expect guys help point
Hopefully, we can get some things going to help emphasize the point that here's how we expect you to play and if you don't, the other guys are going to play, even if they're not as talented,
coming crowd good guys hopefully nice performance players spring support turn
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.
blocks guys looks plan players run sort straight
Our plan will be about like everyone else's - not try to let him run all over the place. Our players know what they have to do. They have to contain. You don't just run straight at a quarterback who looks like him. Hopefully, our guys will get off blocks and sort of corral him.
beating few good guys plays praise
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.
checking close guys picking playing ways
He's still got a little ways to go, but he's got a chance. He's checking off and picking his guys out better. He should be close to really playing very well this year.
amongst certainly critics experts guys knows matter opinions people seen several teams until
It doesn't matter what I say right now until we play the games. People will write one way or another. That's fair. Opinions are all fair. But until we go play, who knows what's going to happen? But certainly I like the challenge. The opportunity. I like being in Washington, D.C., also. I like being amongst those critics up there, the guys who've never seen our teams play. Several of them are the experts in what's going to happen, but that's okay.
coach guess guys spend year
I guess you guys have to be a coach to understand. Once you spend a year with your guys, that's your team. That's just your team. I try to live in the present.
blake certainly coaches guys hope improve learned year
Certainly, Blake has improved. He has certainly learned what's going on, and he should play much, much better this year. I hope we have some coaches around here so our guys improve from one year to the next.
commit guys january visit
Some guys commit early. Some like to visit through January and commit. That's where we are.
blake build bunch close confidence football fun gain guys hopefully kenny key program rice south stop super trying university
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.
bridges burn ended guys remained six stayed supposed turned
So six guys got letters, two have been renewed. They stayed here, remained quiet, didn't burn any bridges and did what they were supposed to do. As it turned out, we ended up not renewing four.
add ball compete glad guys hate last looking love maybe offense offensive running team toughness
Daccus should give us some toughness running the ball that we didn't have last week, ... Our team right now is looking for some tough guys who love to compete and maybe hate losing. Daccus is a tough guy, and he'll add a lot to our offense blocking, running the ball and maybe challenging our offensive linemen to get their butts going, things like that. We're glad to have him back.
cover decisions giving guys key pass percent protection smart
The first key is pass protection -- giving the quarterback enough time. After that, it's getting guys open. The QB has to know where the receivers are going, how the defenses cover them. You need a smart guy who will make smart decisions 95 percent of the time.
