blake performance played
I thought Blake played very well for his first performance, and, really, for any performance,
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.
dropped early games played
He dropped those in the early games and hasn't had many opportunities since. But he's played well. He's had to make a lot of tackles back there.
players relaxed remained verge
Our players have remained relaxed when on the verge of winning,
deserving earn hard players prior signed staff worked
There were some players the prior staff signed that we didn't think would ever contribute, ... We thought some walk-ons were more deserving and had worked hard to earn scholarships.
careless certainly gave good near number penalties played
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.
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.
attitude career fun good guy man played positive wonderful
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.
amazing blake fourth happen none played starter
He's a three-year starter going into his fourth year. That's amazing nowadays, a four-year starter. It just doesn't happen every day. Blake has no starts. None of our quarterbacks have played much at all, so it will be interesting. Hopefully, they'll play like they're capable.
bowl certainly coaches college fun half kids playing practicing realize six teams top wish
It's always important to play in the bowl game. All you have to do is look at the other six SEC teams that didn't make it and realize we're in the top half of the SEC. It's certainly fun for all the college kids and coaches to be playing in December, in January. A lot of them are not practicing and wish they were.
opportunity players playing start
It's going to be a new bunch. Of course, statistically we weren't all that super. But it's an opportunity for some new players to start playing ball.
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.
attitude building care good great needs players sort team trust work
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.
