complaints level lose people talent
Talent wise, I don't have any complaints about that. I think our talent level is good. If we lose a game, it won't be because of talent. We're not going away, people know that.
florida ready starting state talent time
They're starting to play with a lot of confidence. I think we have enough talent there to be good. Are we ready for Florida State? No. But we don't play Florida State right away, so we have a little time and we need a little time.
south stay talent
There's always been talent in South Florida, it just didn't stay here.
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.
finger guess guys last point talented
I don't think we have slipped talent-wise. I think we're talented enough to play with anybody. But I do sense our guys are not happy, not satisfied, and they shouldn't be, with last season. There really was some embarrassment there for all of us. No doubt, there is a sense of urgency. We need to go out with excitement, with hunger, every week. We had that at times last season, but not all the time. I guess you could point the finger at me, but we did not play with consistency.
andrew backup biggest fastest talented
I don't want to just have Andrew in a backup role. Andrew may be our most talented back. I know he's our fastest back and he's our biggest back, other than Tyrone.

Andrew may be our most talented back. I know he's our fastest back.

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.
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.
