again elite football great hate opportunity season taste teams three track
It's great to end the season with a win. But again, we've got new resolve. We hate to end the season with three losses, that taste in our mouth. It's an opportunity to come back and really get back on track and again be one of the elite football teams in the country. That's what we expect.

It's pretty obvious tonight we got it handed to us.

These things are serious. We know that. If we don't know it, we should just reflect back a few weeks to Katrina. It came through here as a Category 1, and trust me, we don't want to see much more.

This is a very important spring practice for us. It's important that we believe in ourselves and our players believe in what we're doing and what we're trying to accomplish.
attacking defensive fun team
The thing I see different about this defensive team is they're having more fun doing what they do. They're having a lot of fun attacking and making plays.

Again, it's poise and character. We made some plays. When we stopped doing that, that's how Clemson got in the game. When we got back to doing that, it permeates throughout.

I'm not satisfied with the last couple of years, period - myself or any of the results we've had the last couple of years. I think we can be better.

I'm not gonna go through another season with an overweight, sluggish running back. I did that last year, and I'm not gonna do it again,

I'm really surprised at how far along he is. But his determination to get back, to help this team be good and get to where he wants to be really speaks volumes about Eric.
brother equal excited faster somewhat special
I'm really excited about Sinorice, ... probably faster than Santana, and I think the thing I see is he has a lot of maturity. Sinorice is one of the leaders. ... I think one thing he has to do to somewhat equal his brother is we have to get him the football. I think we do that and we'll see some really special things of him.
excellent pressure
It wasn't all his fault. They put excellent pressure on him all day long.

It was a good finish for us. This has been an outstanding spring. We'll have a good finish tomorrow in the annual spring game, and hopefully everybody will stay healthy. Everybody has a good attitude and they're ready for Saturday.
