beauty drafted few last obviously ohio players
That's really the beauty of football. Just a few players make the difference. You look at Ohio State, they had 14 players drafted last year. Obviously they had some difference-makers on that team.

It's flashy and I know there will be a lot of talk and it has probably been on TV a few times and all that,

against few florida good hurt last special teams
Special teams really hurt us. We've been very good on special teams the last few years. Obviously, we weren't very good against Florida State.
case difficult early factor fans few great involved last motivating season
What I like is that early in the season we have a difficult schedule, and that has not been the case the last few years. That allows the fans to get involved early, and it's a great motivating factor for our team.
came category few reflect trust weeks
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.

We miss Ryan, but we have players who can step up.

We have to continue to work and get better at what we do.

We are certainly pleased. When you are around very special people, you like to keep those people around the players and the programs. Coach Cristobal is one of those.

We certainly have a lot of work to do offensively.

There's always been talent in South Florida, it just didn't stay here.
confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.
gets hot spirited
It was a little spirited today. It gets hot and tempers flare a little bit.
body covering good great guy pleasantly smaller surprised switching
I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's done a great job. I thought he could be a good player, but the way he handles his body ... he's a big guy and he's out there switching his hips, being able to maneuver, covering smaller receivers. I've been very impressed.
