bigger gotten guys high location players school since
We have some guys that may not have been recruited as heavily because of the location of their high school or whatever, but these players are just as good. And some of them have already gotten bigger and better since we recruited them.
beverage brian chad freshman freshmen good great help maybe player ready sign true white
That was a great catch, ... He's going to be a good player and is another freshman who we have to try and get on the field. We have some true freshmen like Wheeler, Harrison, Jackson, Brown, and maybe even Chad Beverage and Brian White who can help us this year. We have more true freshman ready to go than I ever remember, and that's a sign of good recruiting.
believe deep excellent forward gets key looking players safety scary seeing
To me, the key (for us) is the secondary, only because it's a scary position, ... If a lineman gets beat, it usually isn't a touchdown, but if a safety doesn't get deep enough, it is. That's what makes it scary ... but I believe we have excellent players there and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
both calling good people physically players priority stress success tried
We've tried to stress to our players that they shouldn't think the worst. No one is having any success calling people in these areas. Our No. 1 priority is the well-being both physically and emotionally of these young men. This just wouldn't have been a good day to practice.
against along bad base farther good healthy mainly offense overall players point ready saw sure trying understanding
Overall we saw some good things and some bad things, just like you do every scrimmage, ... The good thing is that I feel like we're farther along at this point than we've been in the past, mainly because we have a better understanding of our base offense and defense. The players are comfortable with what we're trying to do, so now we just have to try to make sure everyone is healthy and ready to go against Florida.
hits lost players
A lot of our players have lost everything. It really hits home.
beautiful process recruiting start stressful
The whole recruiting process is always a stressful deal. You start getting paranoid, but the beautiful thing is we got all of them in.
dominated hands offense wide
And they have some wide receivers who can really fly, so we have our hands full, ... They pretty much dominated Wyoming and their offense is really dangerous.
families foot fun ground hard snow
There was a foot of snow on the ground when we got here. It's hard to get families to come out and have fun when they're freezing.
across board defense donald executing fault florida great last matt start week
We are going to give Donald the start and let Matt come off the bench. Offensively, we didn't play well last week and that wasn't Matt's fault or any one person's fault. It was a combination of a great Florida defense and us not executing across the board offensively.
call goodness mom several thank
Thank goodness his mom was OK. He couldn't just call down there, and he couldn't go down there (for several days).
both game nine
That was two turnovers down in our own end that put the game out of reach. And both of those, nine out of 10 times aren't going to happen.
field great last sack
That was big. That last sack (by Cooks) and not getting at least a field goal. It was a great opportunity, we just didn't get it done.
beat far felt good hawaii last regroup team week
We need to regroup and get back in the hunt. We felt like we beat a good Hawaii team last week and I still feel like we have a good team. We didn't play particularly well today, but it's far from over.
