ball came fighting fights-and-fighting magnet
This typifies our whole year. We've been fighting and clawing this way all season. Fortunately, our ball magnet came up with the big interception.
came felt game reports rest saw walk
I saw him walk in and he said he felt pretty decent. I don't know where reports of a high-ankle sprain came from. I don't think he would have been able to play like he did the rest of the game if he had a high-ankle sprain.
came field good guy guys jason josh night step sure talk tomorrow white
He was always the first guy Jason White would talk to when he came off the field. Josh has a really good way with those guys and I'm sure he'll step right in here tomorrow night and do the same thing.
believe believing came entire good hear media mind mistakes players ranked separation spring
We came out of spring believing that they each had a scrimmage or two that they were good at and one or two that they made some mistakes at. Each of them did that and in our mind there was not a separation going into (Thursday's) practice. I feel it's unfortunate that so many of you in the media have ranked them and have put them in place so that players have to hear that the entire summer. It's really not fair.
beat came
They came in here and beat us, and that is it.
ankle came cuts game guy injury power running strength
This is a guy who, when he's healthy, has been phenomenal. Once he regained the strength in his ankle this year, he was right back to running with power and making the same kind of cuts before he was injured. He really came on once he was over the injury and he has been sensational in every game since.
capable grown guys number shows throughout youth
This shows the youth that we have and the way that we have grown throughout the year. We have a number of young guys who are capable of being really good, and I think they'll get better and better.

We need to do our best to be as sharp as we can. I think that's the frustrating part for us,
building continue dan either happy root step sure
I don't root for either team, but in the end, I have to be happy for Dan and the way he's building that program. They continue to make improvements. I'm sure this is a big step for them.

We want to give him opportunities to get on the field. He's excited about it. He sees opportunity there.

You guys probably forgot how he played those first 12 games,
paul ready
We're going right now with Rhett, but we've still always got Paul ready to go.
ball drop knew saw soon
As soon as I saw him go up for the ball I knew it wasn't going to be dropped. He doesn't drop balls.
anticipate depending depends further happens practice start
At this point, we anticipate him playing, ... Start or not depends on how we feel practice is going, what we feel we need to do. Depending on what further happens from here, we'll see.
