Our guys did a great job of doing what we had to do to win. It certainly wasn't a very beautiful victory, but to me it is.
I was a little befuddled, ... I've seen guys making plays all the time in practice, and I'm like, 'What's the problem?' But when you'd look at the tape, it really was just one guy making a mistake.
It is somewhat of a consideration, but if we think a guy is a player, we won't hold that against him. Sometimes you have a big lineman maybe who is dominating a bunch of little, bitty guys it's hard to get a feel, but there are also camps and combines and those type of things that let you get a little better look at some of these guys.
I think we'll keep our poise. I think we'll fight hard. I think that'll happen. Are we good enough to beat Tennessee? That I don't know. We'll have to improve in all areas, but when it comes to fighting a full 60 minutes, I think we've proven over the last four or five years we'll do that.
I think we've been taking Bennett for granted around here a long time. He's made those kicks in the games we've been winning. Gosh, you take nine points right there we've got a chance to win the game.
I think West Virginia was extremely excited. They brought a little more emotion in the beginning.
We have our schedule set up so the mornings are about business and after lunch is time to enjoy the bowl.
We haven't seen anybody like White. He's special.
You just didn't know if it was going to equate into victories or not. So far it has.
Without a doubt, he was our player of the game.
We can't be thinking about what's going to happen down the road. You look at what happened to Florida last year, going in there and getting beat, and then you just watch the tape. ... They're much better at doing what they do than they were a year ago.
When you're halfway through the year, and you haven't lost yet, I'm sure it's in the back of your mind, but you have to keep it in the back of your mind,
We've got some cushion, but the worst thing in the world we can do is get beat next week. Then we have no cushion. We're only halfway through the schedule. We're not in a position where we can relax.
We're not a team that has a bunch of superstars. We're not a one-man show. It's certainly not good to lose your starting quarterback, especially as good as he was playing, but we're going to concentrate on what we're going to do now rather than on what we've lost.
