agility ahead bit break couple few good positive quite saw spring surface work worked
We had a couple that couldn't get out here, but it was good to get out here and get day No. 1 under our belts. We've got a lot of spring break still in us. I saw some positive things, but I've got to see a lot more. But it was good to go ahead and get on the surface and work our way back into conditioning. We worked on our agility quite a bit and got a few things done offensively and defensively." ()
coach curve excited focused good helped helping job learning line playing steve throw time wonder
We are very excited about him. You wonder about the learning curve because they throw a lot of defenses at you, but he is focused in there. (Offensive line coach Steve Haywood) has done a good job helping him learn things and I think that has helped him get considerable playing time with that first group." ()

Brandon let the post get inside him one time, but to be honest with you he played well considering. We were pleased overall with what he did. He was very physical and he is a very, very good tackler." ()
camp concentration days execution four good maybe
I didn't think our execution was as good today. ... Maybe camp is getting to us a little, about 10 days in with about four to go. But I just didn't think our concentration was as good. It has to be much better, much quicker." ()
goals good group hard individual picked pleased segments work
I'm pleased with what we've done so far. But this is a big, big week, to see how much more we can improve. Every individual group has goals we're working on. I thought we got good work today; we picked it up more at the end in live competition. I think it's important we have segments every day where we put them in competitive situations, while working hard on our fundamentals." ()
beat football good offense outside pressured run speed strength today
They've got a really good football team. Today we got beat by the strength of an older, more experienced football team. They run through tackles on offense and come at you downhill. On defense, they have a lot of speed on the outside and pressured our young players." ()

assignment attacked football late missed people stop third
We didn't play assignment football at the end like we should have defensively to stop the option. We attacked the quarterback pretty well in the third quarter, but then the fullback got us on some bend-backs late in the ballgame. We had people in the right positions, but I'm disappointed in the missed tackles." ()

We put ourselves in a position to win the game in the fourth quarter. We just couldn't finish it." ()

I think just getting out here means we can start a measuring stick and really work from there. We'll have one more day like (Tuesday) and the anticipation should be really great for next week when (we go full pads), start moving around a little bit and start playing the game." ()

Really our goal for this week is to take the people that have performed the best and work them together. We're going to start doing that today (Tuesday). We're going to go three days in a row, which is a little much for us, because of this weekend's track meets." ()

anywhere charlie encouraged injury possibly scope test today
I was a little more encouraged with Charlie today. Today was kind of a test day. We thought it would be anywhere from play him to scope him on Thursday, but he has responded a lot better than we possibly thought he would when the injury happened." ()
