athletic best couple doubt entire football happen hated maybe people
You've just got to do your best and don't look back. I never do. I think it made Auburn a better place. Not just football, the entire campus. I hated going through something like that, but after it's all said and done, it was maybe the best thing to ever happen to me, our coaches, this football program, and this athletic program. I don't think there's any doubt that people can look and say that Auburn is better than it was a couple of years ago.
bad chance defense easier games good playing week
The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.
bay hard looking overcome san tampa teams
I think he's overcome that. Tampa Bay is very interested, and San Diego. That's two of the teams that are really looking hard at him.
early earn forgot kinda moving respect
Respect you have to earn that and we didn't early in the season. We were forgot about for a while, and we're kinda moving back up.
area basically bomb electricity everybody food goes home meet miami practice realize sunday sure tomorrow
We called practice off on that Sunday and basically said we'll meet back here tomorrow afternoon, everybody go home and make sure everything's safe. You don't realize the devastation that happens. It's like a bomb that goes off. In the Miami area there wasn't any water, food . . . or electricity for a month.
beating champion named national plays score team teams three
To me, a national champion is the team that plays the best. We're not beating teams by two or three points. We've pretty much named our score most of the year.
guy
Up to this point, our guy was pretty much on target. It's one of those things, it comes and it goes.
calls couple curtain final next statement
We have a couple more curtain calls before the final song. We will have to make another statement the next two-to-three weeks.
defensive depend eight guys judge looking recruiting speed work
We've got a lot of guys that have size, speed and quickness. I always judge our recruiting by linemen and this has been an exceptional year. We're always looking for guys at defensive line. We feel like all eight of these guys will have a chance. It will depend on them... and their work ethic.
excellent few good guys job last lose selling success today win won worked
We always win some, we always lose some. This year, we probably won more than we have the last few years. We probably had more success today than we thought we were going to, and that always makes you feel good. Our guys worked hard, they did an excellent job in selling the program. It's been a good month.
blocking blocks building opening staying teams tough
We're blocking better, staying on longer, and staying on blocks down the field. It's all about confidence. It was hard, opening up with two tough teams like that, but we've been building it back.
ball drives execute finish line man men nine playing strengths
We were not able to finish off drives and execute and put the ball in the end zone. When they have nine men on the line of scrimmage and are playing man coverage, you have to take to strengths and use them.
bad case conference fault game hopefully leeway love obviously worried
We'll play when we get there, I guess. It's not our fault that we can't get down there. You'd love it if this game had been in the day where you could have a little leeway in case there's bad weather. Obviously the conference is not worried about that, so we're just going to go down there and play and hopefully we can get down there in time.
college football game goes good gotta great hall job last players
You gotta give it to Barry. His last game and he goes out on top. It's probably only fitting. He's a good football coach. I've told people, 'He's going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.' He's done a great job at Wisconsin. His players responded.
