beat coach couple defense defensive game guys hat licking ray rest tip willie
We're beat up and fatigued and there are some guys in Gainesville licking their chops. The guys on our defense are flat-out warriors. (Defensive tackle) Ray Gant would not come out of the game and probably should have a couple of times. You have to tip your hat to them and coach Willie Martinez and rest of our defensive coaches.
bring call defense guys hard
Those guys are hard to tackle. Even if you call the right defense and have guys in the right positions, you still have to bring them down and we didn't.
almost call decision defense guys sights
Their quarterback, from what I could tell, made the right decision almost every time. Even when you get them in your sights and you call the right defense and you get guys in position, you still have to get them down.
defense field plays running time
We put the onus on the defense one more time and they made the plays again, thankfully. Running game, field position, defense. It isn't pretty sometimes.
ability catch deep defense shown valuable
I don't think he's going to play defense anymore. He's going to be very valuable to us, and he has shown the ability to go deep and to catch the deep ball.
ahead concerned couple defense last ought overall practiced stepped
I feel better about the defense overall today. I was getting a little concerned that things were getting a little too evenly matched. I think the defense ought to be a little ahead at this point, and the last couple times we've practiced it really hadn't been that way. But the defense really stepped it up.
credit good happen players sweat
When we were down 28-0, I didn't know if anything good was going to happen tonight. But to the credit of our players we made it a battle. We made them sweat a little bit.
geared offense pass plays primary sure target tight toward
We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
catch eight geared passes plays primary target throw toward
We're going to make him a primary target. Now, I don't know how many passes he's going to catch. We could make him the primary target 15 times a game, but we may only throw to him to eight times because he's covered, and he may only catch six. But we're going to have more pass plays than we've ever had geared toward him.
finish game hoping looks senior thankful win year
We're just very thankful that it looks like he'll be back for the Auburn game and be able to finish his senior year the way we were hoping he could, ... In the meantime, we've got to find a way to win without him.
handle jam mostly played press soft state today worry
We feel better about it today than we did going into the game. We still have to see how they do with tighter coverage. Boise State played mostly soft coverage, not much press at all so no one had to worry about getting off a jam or redirecting or that kind of thing. We'll see how they handle a little more pressure.
expecting
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
foot ourselves reason shooting whatever
We're just shooting ourselves in the foot again. Whatever the reason is for that, I don't know.
equally rolling
We're just rolling them and evaluating them. We're rotating them as equally as we can.
