It always helps in recruiting to a certain degree. To finish in the top 10 four straight years is exciting, and we think 10 wins is a pretty good benchmark.
I think it's ironic that it's happened that way. It just goes to show you how important they are to their offenses.
Last year, I was just hoping the other team would kick it out of the end zone so we could get it on the 20, ... So, I guess I'm hoping now we'll be able to return it past the 20.
I watched film from Wednesday's practice, and he's just a really impressive back. He's just tough. He's just a player. He's a guy you can count on. He'll run block, he'll pass block.
Going for the fake punt showed a lot of guts and great execution. You've got to give them credit.
He's a lot like Fred Gibson, ... Fred had a lot of (missed assignments) as a freshman, but he also had a lot of production. So we tried to get him on the field.
Our goal (coming into spring) was not even to try to narrow it down as much as to get everybody as much exposure to what we're doing as possible. I don't think anything has changed in my mind or Mike's mind.
Overall, it was fairly sloppily played offensively, but there was some beauty in our ability to run the ball.
Playing in the Dome will be great for us. We have had some great experiences in the Dome. Our fans have been fantastic in there.
I get more charged up than it looks on the outside. It takes me a while to cool down.
If that hamstring didn't set him back, who knows where he would be,
He's grown up a Bulldog. His grandfather, his father, his uncle all played for Georgia, Georgia football is in his blood. I think it does help.
He's banged up and he's sore, ... We've got to see how he progresses. But if he's in a weakened position, you could make it a lot worse so we're being cautious with it right now.
He has a great attitude every day in practice. He works hard in the games. He's making plays, he's pushing the pile, he's making people double-team him. He's been keeping people off our linebackers and he's really playing pretty well so far.
