That's a great advantage over just showing up when two-a-days begin in the fall. He'll have a good working knowledge of the system. He'll get used to the other players. He'll get used to the college life. He'll be able to work out over the summer with the team and build a good rapport.
Sometimes people think there is not enough support for college athletics without the beer industry, maybe. I don't know if that is true. There would be other sponsors that would be excited about uniting with college football.
I don't think a playoff is the answer, ... I like college football the way it is. I really do. The regular season in college football is better than any sport in America, maybe the world.
I'm sure that's all being considered. I'm sure that's all being talked about.
I'm very disappointed and penalties for behavioral issues are going to be severe. Playing time is valuable to all players and it will be very limited to those who cannot conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.
I know the BCS games get a lot more attention throughout the bowl season. You usually get a lot more people talking about your game.
I know Ray was hurting bad, ... The trainers were working on him before every (series), basically. But he refused to stay out of the game.
I know that quarterback can run like a deer, that's for sure. Shockley's not quite the runner that he is. Shockley's athletic, but we won't have as many designed quarterback runs for him. A lot of that is because it's really not his nature and the other part is that we wanted to try to keep him healthy this year.
I'm really pleased with what they've done in the clutch. Field position, momentum and points. That's what those guys have meant for us.
Everyone knows his name now, but no one knows the blockers,
Everyone knew who David Pollack was, David Greene was. National-name guys. I don't know if we have a headliner on our team. We have a bunch of guys who are playing real hard, and together we've done a nice job.
It was his first start in a hostile environment, and he did pretty darned good.
It was just a great field position game, a great defensive battle. We had to stay patient, as much as we hated it, and let our special teams do their job -- then knock it in when we needed to.
The thing is knowing when to do it and when not to. But if everyone had access to the same technology, I guess it would be OK.
