beaten direction florida last lost miami overtime played state three triple
We've beaten Florida State two of the last three times we've played them and we beat Miami down there in overtime and lost in triple overtime at home. I like the direction that we're going.
enthusiasm good looked
He has looked really, really good. He has good enthusiasm.
manages plays time
I want to see some big plays (offensively) and how Will manages the team. This will be the first time we will get to see him do that.
evaluation purpose
From an evaluation purpose, you don't get that much done.
desire help next shows skills
I couldn't help but think he would get better in that aspect. He shows the desire and has the skills to help us out next year.
contain stop
You can't stop him. You can only contain him.
athletic drink teams
I think a lot of athletic directors, administrators and teams will drink from the well we dug.
dad might miss naps takes
Dad is 76. He takes naps during the game, so he might miss something.
anticipate box difficulty guys line running
I didn't anticipate having that much difficulty running it. They put more guys in the box (at the line of scrimmage).
giving good heavy kicking work
He is a pretty good kicker. We are giving him some heavy work right now. He is kicking just as good if not better.
anticipate coming defense guys key playing possibly sign strongly
I strongly anticipate some of the guys we sign coming in and possibly playing some key roles, especially on defense the way we did this year.
continued defense defensive good played work
I thought the defense played well, they (the first team) didn't give up a long play all day. I thought the young defensive linemen continued to show improvement. They got some good work in this week.
comforting far knowing three
That's a pretty comforting feeling, as far as going in there knowing you're probably going to get three points.
couple fifth fourth might next open starter weeks
I think he can be a starter (at cornerback). It might be next year. It might be the fourth or fifth game. It might be a couple weeks after the open date. I could conceivably see that.
