barry comparable compete few football found guys last replace team ups
They've had a few ups and downs, been consistent, found a way to win. It's been one of those years for Barry also where he's had to replace a lot of guys and get his football team back to try to compete with what they had last year. So we're two very comparable teams.

They learned what it was like to lose and get back up. This year was about consistency, and I thought we started playing well mid-way through the year and just got better and better as the season went on.

backs clinic coaches coaching competition days defensive easing enthusiasm faces few good guys high looking mental past quicker school showing start starts today tomorrow watched watching
It was a good practice. Guys are showing a lot of enthusiasm. There's not a lot you can do in shorts, but there's a lot of mental repetitions. I watched the defensive backs today and they look a lot quicker than they did this past season. There are a lot of new faces we're looking at with that position. There will be a lot of competition with those guys this spring. Tomorrow we'll start easing into contact. Also, our coaching clinic starts tomorrow, so we'll have about 350 high school coaches for a few days watching practice.

He's got great presence on the field, in the huddle, at the line. Even when there's pressure around him in the pocket, even with six or seven people (rushing) and he's got to get rid of it, Brandon always looks like he's in control. That's the sign of a good quarterback.
academics degree football players understand
Academics are the No. 1 thing. It's the first thing we tell players when they come to Auburn. They are here to get a degree first and foremost. Once they understand that, they understand that football is second.
beginning best four future hope national pick problem teams true vote votes year
That's the problem with the voting. We vote at the beginning of the year and don't (change) votes at the end of the year. I would hope in the future we would pick the four best teams at the end of the year and play them off and have a true national champion.

As I told our team, this is over. We start back next Monday morning at 7 o'clock with all the guys coming back minus the seniors. But this will be a good team. We had a good year. We had an excellent year.
anywhere hear looking maybe month near north tv week
Down in Florida, at least we could go north and get away from it. You hear on TV where it's going to be a week or a month before maybe getting electricity. (But) you're looking at years to when this place is going to be back anywhere near what it was.

It doesn't make a hill of beans. I remember being at Miami and I don't think we ever were a Top 10 team (in recruiting) and we won three national championships.
