There's some glaring numbers. He's done things no one else has done.
brad earn excited guy program respect season since waiting wants worked
Brad's been waiting since January, and you can see it. There was no guy in our program more excited about the season getting here than Brad Smith. I think he wants to earn some respect back . . . He worked very, very hard.
kid waiting
Brad's been waiting for this day. That kid is on a mission. What we can in this offense, we can just do a lot of things for him.
brad college excited felt football man start team
Brad felt he had a lot to prove, not only about this team but about himself. I don't think there was a young man out there more excited about the start of the college football season.
brad decide drive low neat players team
Sometimes you have to go that low before you can decide what you want to be and what you want to do. The players just started making plays, they just started competing. ... It was neat to see Brad drive this team back.

Could be 0-12. Six and six isn't all that bad. The moral of the story is go to bowl games.

That was a great effort by Chase. The guy's a winner.
best davis football full good great guys happens jackson jimmy spring turned until
That's what happens during the season, too, sometimes, and that's why you've got to have good depth. I think we have pretty good depth. Marcus was having a great spring until he turned his ankle. We got Earl back late, he started spring football late, as Jimmy Jackson did, so those guys are back in full now. Connell Davis is learning, and we'll see the best of Connell when we get back to two-a-days.

We're certainly disappointed that we're still having problems in that area, because there's no question that it's hurting us,

I thought he played really well, really well. I'm not sure what his numbers were, but I think they were pretty good.
brad football judged ultimately winning yards
Getting his 2,000 yards passing, 1,000 rushing, all that stuff?s great, ... but Brad will ultimately be judged by winning football games, and he understands that.

Shoot, when I was in Seattle, in our 15 spring practices when I coached at Washington, 13 of them were like this. So I just I felt like I was back at home.
