I've tried to keep it simple for him and just say, 'Protect the ball and relax,' ... I don't expect him not to have pregame jitters or not have a ball spray on him here or there. That's happened to every player I've coached. It's hard to get in a groove until you've played enough plays. I'm confident that once he gets into a groove, he will be a heck of a quarterback for us.
It was very, very competitive, and a lot of great things happened on both sides of the ball. A lot more of what spring ball should look like if we're going to be successful around here.
If a quarterback places the ball properly, I don't think there's anybody who can cover him. He's just such a big guy. You can't slow him up. You better get to him if you want to cover him.
If a guy thinks every time he drops a ball you're going to drop him out of the lineup, it's very hard for him to gain confidence,
Of all our guys, Mohamed is the one who really catches the ball with his hands. Rarely does he let the ball get to his body. For the most part, he goes to the ball and snatches it away from the defensive back better than any guy we have.
It was a heck of a ball game. Unfortunately we dug ourselves a big hole. West Virginia did a phenomenal job of jumping on us early, running the ball extremely well and took advantage of our turnovers. When we were down 28 I didn't know if anything good was going to happen.
We decided to run that ball and try to live with it. We kept pounding, getting yards after contact, just grinding it out in a real physical way. That's great.
We were all excited about how the interview was going. I was thrilled to have him back, but it was a little bittersweet because we saw what Coach Ball had to offer also. This time around when a position became available I didn't need to do any interviewing.
Mario's going to play and probably play a lot if everything keeps going like it's been. He knows what he's doing. He's catching the ball pretty well.
If he'd had a few more balls caught throughout the year, who knows what kind of year he could have had.
The guy that's holding the ball gets hit a lot. Sometimes he gets banged up. We feel very comfortable with Jason.
We just had to hang on for dear life today. It's not fun to see your boys go down. I also have to give a lot of credit to Arkansas. I tried to tell everyone how fast they were.
We might have the only kickoff team in the country that doesn't have any linebackers running down there,
We certainly found some kinks in our armor tonight. It was a typical Southeastern Conference game and a typical Georgia-South Carolina game.
