After being with a team that didn't score many points, I sort of realized why teams didn't like us (at Florida), ... We kept trying to score the whole game and for some reason, in football, you're not supposed to do that. If we lose by a big number, that's fine with me.
Anybody wants to come out, we appreciate it. We like to have some people in the stands when our guys are playing. We're going to keep score, offense against defense. The loser has to run. So it's going to be a score-keeping day.
They've behaved well and the focus has been pretty good.
Oh, that's a secret, a little secret, ... Nah, we're breaking the balls in. They're all brand new and slippery as can be. Like a watermelon seed when they bring them out of the box. So you try rubbing them in the dirt, the grass, put a little sweat on them. You try everything to get where you can handle them.
If you want to read about some full-blown fights, read about the Tennessee players, not our guys.
The way our pass protection is right now, I don't know if Blake could last anyway.
Shows you how alert we were as a team. It was sad.
I thought Blake played very well for his first performance, and, really, for any performance,
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.
He contributes a lot, ... He's been a wonderful guy, does everything, weightlifting, been a good teammate for all the guys.
He was given the day off. But he should be here tomorrow.
Obviously right now, ... no one's going to be scared of the Gamecocks.
He needs to work on his tackling, like everybody else. He's a cover guy. He's quick and he should be fine back there.
It's unfortunate but he's suspended indefinitely, and he's probably finished unless something reveals a different story from what happened.
