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.
missed position strong
Obviously, he has missed a lot of work, so he is getting behind. Linebacker is a strong position for us.
loaded might players position whatever
You can't take everybody, for whatever reason, be it you're loaded at that position or whatever it might be. They've got players who could play for about anybody. That's the thing that you see, that they have talent. That's Florida.
games
We're going to play in games like this.
troops
We're going to need all our able-bodied troops in Tallahassee.
ball defense felt run
We felt like our defense would make a stand. And we also felt like we could run the ball on Clemson.
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.

good team win

great running
When I've been a great coach, we've had a great running back,
puts
This puts us right where we want to be ? things will get real interesting.
crazy puts
This puts us right where we want to be. Down the stretch, a lot of crazy things happen.
average playing receiver
We're playing average at receiver and we have better than average receivers. We have to give them more opportunities.
