bit chip last losing time virginia year
I think so. They're very hungry. They're disappointed by that game. Any time you lose, a little like us last year losing to Virginia Tech, we had a little bit of a chip on our shoulder. And I could see that being the same way with LSU.
kyle positive seems
Kyle seems to be doing fine. Everything's positive there.
ball encouraged kyle practiced saw threw
Kyle practiced some and threw the ball pretty well. I feel like he'll be fine. I was encouraged by what I saw today.
believes himself kyle
Kyle believes in himself and he has confidence. It's not a facade. He doesn't get shaken easily.
tight turn
I thought they were going to turn me into a tight end,
hurt last played since tight turn week
I thought they were going to turn me into a tight end. I can't wait. Shoot, I was hurt the first week of camp. I haven't really played since last spring.
flow good playing potential
I think we're better than we're playing. What that potential is, I don't know. I think our receivers are good enough. We're not playing as well as we can and I think we've got to give them more opportunities to get them in the flow and get them playing better.
good great guy seen stepped
I think we're going to be good at that position. But to say anybody's really stepped up and made us say, 'This guy is a great player,' I really haven't seen that, no.
I think we do have the better team, but we have to play better.
chance gave people took
I think we did have a little edge, ... We took it a little personal. I don't think people gave us much of a chance to win.
defensive liked line seen share won
I would have liked to have seen them play better, to be honest. The first-team defensive line won that battle, and they've done that their share of the time.
allowing coaching consistency game nine noticed points scheme series tremendous
You don't do the things they are doing allowing nine points a game without being a tremendous defense. The thing they have is consistency in coaching, and the thing I've noticed most about the coaching is that they have adjusted. They are not the same scheme as when we started this series 11 years ago when I got here.
guy mistakes sure
Will (Phillips) make mistakes? I'm sure he will. But he's a guy that is also a big playmaker and may make (opponents) make some mistakes also.
block hard plays
We can't block him, ... He'll be an outstanding player. He's smart, plays hard every down. He's good.
