football glad good great knew players worked year
It's a great day. We knew we had a great football team, and it was a great year for us. It makes you feel good for the players because they did so much for us here. I'm glad it worked out for them.
approach atlanta bowl enjoy game guys supposed sure whether
As coaches, we approach any game the same, whether it's a bowl game here or in Atlanta or New Orleans. But the thing we want to do is to make sure the guys enjoy it and have fun. It's supposed to be fun.
players
It won't have anything to do with conferences. It'll have to do with the players on the field. How they play.
hard impossible zero
They've all been consistent. It's hard to zero in on one receiver. It's impossible to do.
came doubt football game guys win
There was no doubt who was going to win this football game after the first 5 or 6 minutes. Our guys came out and made a statement.
great guy job notch players sign turned
His players responded for him. And that's the sign of a guy that's done a great job for a program. And he can kind of look at that, because his players turned it up a notch for him.
area conference difference great limit special teams vital
It's very vital with the 85-scholarship limit that you do have walk-ons that participate on your special teams because they are so important. That's an area where they can come out and contribute. There's not a team in this conference that doesn't have walk-ons that participate that make a difference during the season. I think that's what's great about football.
guy hero loved target throw
The guy that's kind of an unsung hero is Anthony Mix. He's a big target and the quarterbacks have loved to throw to him over the years.
bad call guy pocket refuses upstairs
If you get what you think is a really bad call and the guy upstairs refuses to call for a review, at least you would have one in your pocket you could use. If you're right, you get to keep it. If you're wrong, then it's gone.
defense kicking played worked
Our defense played hard, we just didn't do anything with our kicking game. It let us down at times, that's my fault. We must not have worked enough on it, but we will work on it.
judge recruiting
I always judge our recruiting by linemen. I think this has been an exceptional year.
attention ball gears good guys lack practice reason running shift spring throwing today tomorrow turn
It was a good practice today. We concentrated more on throwing the football. Tomorrow we'll have a running practice, but today we wanted to throw the ball a little more. There was good enthusiasm. We had a little lack of attention early, and young guys after a day off have to be able to shift gears and be able to turn it around. That's the reason you play spring ball.
hate
There's one thing I'll say. I'd hate to play us.
chart depth few last marks question
There's probably more question marks on this depth chart than we've had the last few years.
