expecting
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
expected guys kinds max maybe people
It's been one of those years where not many people expected much of us. There weren't many guys getting all kinds of preseason accolades, maybe Max Jean-Gilles a little bit,
accomplish coach expect game knew looked number talented throw trying understand
Not really, for two reasons. Number one, we looked at him and knew he was a very talented guy. We knew he could throw well and was very intelligent. And number two, when you're working with a coach who can make you understand the game and what it is you're trying to accomplish like Coach Spurrier can, you expect the quarterbacks to play well.
ball confident expect gets groove happened hard heck played player simple spray tried until
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.
advantage excited expected hope opportunity played takes
He played better than we expected he would. We hope he's excited about his opportunity and takes advantage of it.
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.
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.
coach everybody fact hone proud spread
We're just proud of the fact that everybody is contributing. You want to spread it around enough so the other coach can't just hone in on one part of your game.
fall guy hoping learning roll struggling time variable
We're hoping by the time we roll around in the fall we could take that variable of 'How much does a guy really know?' out of it. If he is struggling with the learning of it, he is probably not going to play. If he understands it, now it is more of a competition.
