andrew both definitely expect experience guard help rotation
I think (Tella) can help us, just from his experience. He definitely can help us out. I expect Andrew to be in the rotation also. Andrew is smart, he can play both guard positions.
ahead defense expected football good obviously offense teaching work
It was a good day for us. Obviously the defense is ahead of the offense at this time, which we expected that. There is some good teaching out here and we have a lot to work on to be a good football team.
corner expect good great player talented
Devin's going to be a great player for us and I just haven't been around a corner more talented than Devin Hester. And we expect him to be a really great corner. But again, he's been there one year. And let's understand, Marcus Maxey is very talented. He's an awfully good player or he wouldn't be there.
definitely expect situation
We definitely expect (Atkins) to play. He's much, much better. It's just a situation where we don't want to set him back.
coaches expectation players satisfied season
But our coaches and players were not satisfied with the season by any means. That's the expectation we have.

These players have a lot of pride. They come here to win championships. And again, there's some very, very nice things that happened last year. ... But these players come here and they expect to do better.

We're going to play in games like this.

We're going to need all our able-bodied troops in Tallahassee.

We felt like our defense would make a stand. And we also felt like we could run the ball on Clemson.
ball hands job position putting
We're doing a much better job of getting the ball out of the quarterbacks hands and putting the receivers in position to make plays.
build finished handle imagination players product stretch
We're not a finished product yet by any stretch of the imagination at quarterback. But I think again, if we handle it properly, we can build on it with the players we have.
radar work
When you're under the radar a bit, ... you just go about your work.
totally
We were totally inept, to put it bluntly.
good team win
We know we have to play well every Saturday. I feel like that we've got a team that's potentially good enough to win every Saturday, but we've got to play well to do that.
