basically believe cannot everybody great head
I'm out of my head about this. I cannot believe we got all these guys. We got basically everybody we wanted. We got some really great players. This is going to be fun.
ball early feet felt letting opening plan possibly pressure running throw
Early on, the plan was to try and take as much pressure off as we possibly could by emphasizing the running game. We felt like we could run the ball pretty well. Once he got his feet on the ground, got set a little bit, we started opening up and letting him throw it.
finish football offensive played plays poor putting rough successful
It was just a rough way to finish (the season). We just were so poor today. That was awful. We haven't played like that all year. We never got into a rhythm. So much about offensive football is about being in sync, putting successful plays back to back to back, and we just never did it.
couple facilitate last pure second tight using ways
It's a concern, but in a way it isn't. We have ways to facilitate not having a pure fullback. We have ways of using a second tight end, or using a second tailback, which we've done a lot in the last couple years anyway.
accustomed almost days playing sideline though
I told him on the sideline that there are days where you're not going to be sharp. Those are the days you almost have to will yourself. Even though your not playing the way you're accustomed to playing, you've got to find a way to eke out points.
ball catch explore guy nice
It's nice to know you've got another guy who can really catch the ball and do something with it when he catches it. We'll find a way to explore that.
barry good plan team time wisconsin
It's a little atypical of Wisconsin because ... they've always been so stout on defense. They're a really good schematic team defensively and they'll have a good plan for us, I'm sure. With a lot of time to prepare, they'll come up with something. Never underestimate a Barry Alvarez-coached team.
guys time
It's not like we just stop. Now it's time to get the guys for 2007.
good lucky nice players replace
The nice thing about Auburn is you can replace good players with good players. We were lucky enough to do that.
appreciate coaches fans offense scoreboard selfless trying
He really is a selfless player. He does things that don't show up on the scoreboard sometimes, but coaches appreciate more than sometimes fans do. The fullback in our offense is a blocker. We are trying to get him in more into receiving.
huge piece
It's huge getting him back. Now we have two threats. We just have to keep him in one piece long enough so he can show what he can do.
bad catch days four good rhythm takes three throw throwing
It was a pretty good day for the first day back. Our throw and catch was not too bad for not throwing for a while. We made some really good plays. It usually takes you three or four days to get your rhythm back.
bowl capable certainly few gained game hope hopefully last looks past phenomenal season year
The last few practices, he looks like the CT (Taylor) of old. This is an unfortunate season for him because he has never gained a lot of inertia. I hope to be able to use him in this bowl game like we've used him in the past and hopefully get that kind of carry-over where a year from now he can have a phenomenal season, because he's certainly capable of doing that.
dime flashes goes good guy kid people stood threw
The kid at times showed flashes of brilliance. He stood in there and threw some passes, put them on a dime with people in his face. Once he goes through those experiences, I think that guy could be a really, really good quarterback.
