college fans great heard loud tough
I've heard it's a great college environment. It's a loud stadium. The fans are into it. It's a tough place to play. That's what I've heard.
bowl families fans francisco initial san south tougher travel
There was initial disappointment because it's so much tougher for our families and our fans to get to the games. I don't think it was this bowl or San Francisco. I think it was just the thought of having to travel so far. If San Francisco were in South Alabama, I think it would be fine.
calls center centers charge excellent good learn learning lost moved played player toughness
He's a young player who had not played center; we moved him to center when he got here. He's got excellent toughness and good strength. He is lost right now, learning how to play the position. Centers have to make all the calls and are in charge of a lot, so he's got to learn that and it's going to take some time. He's made very good progress, but he's got a long way to go.
everybody focused group interested looking problem strictly tough
I don't think that will be a problem at all, ... Some of them may be interested in looking at what's beyond. But I don't think as a group they'll do that. They know we've got to go out and play this ballgame. They know it's a tough ballgame. They know it's a tough place to play. I think everybody is focused strictly on this game.
competitor liked option pocket ran shake shots sure took tough
I'm not sure how many sacks we got but I know he took a lot of hits. He's a very tough competitor and I would've liked to shake his hand. He ran the option and took shots in the pocket so you have to give him a lot of credit.
feels four hours left minutes playing scoreboard
Too long, way too long, ... In the first two games, it feels like we've been playing two hours and I look up at the scoreboard and there's four minutes left in the first quarter.
ball far great means
What that makes us do is be great tacklers. If they want to get the ball out before you get there, they can get the ball out, but that means they're not getting the ball very far down the field.
behind continue critical fortunate guys involved learn learning win
We have to continue to improve, ... That's how those young guys learn to play the game. We've been fortunate we can win two ballgames without them being involved in a critical play, but they've got to come on. They can't be behind the learning curve.
final guess opportunity
We had the opportunity to make the play in the final minute, and we just didn't make the play. I guess that's life. I don't like it, but I guess that's life.
ball basically behind college experience remember running wreck
We won. Basically that's all I remember about it. The pageantry about the college game, running out behind the Rambling Wreck to the very first ball game, that's always been an experience that's been pretty exciting.
backs balls credit deal great hit inside outside reads short
We hit some balls outside deep, we hit some balls inside over the middle, we hit some short passes, we hit backs out of the backfield. We did some things that we have not done in a while, and I give Reggie a great deal of credit for making those reads and getting the ball to the right guys,
field game matter ready walks
I've said, 'Hey, it doesn't matter who walks on the field. You have to get ready to play,' ... It does not matter who's in the game and who's not in the game.

I've been told that we are to treat him like I would treat any other student athletes. That's from the athletic director.
