Last year, I was just hoping the other team would kick it out of the end zone so we could get it on the 20, ... So, I guess I'm hoping now we'll be able to return it past the 20.
beat fight fighting five four full good improve last proven
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.
florida happen happened last thinking watch year
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.

I don't think we've seen him as good as he can play, and he played really good the last five or six games last year. I don't want to put any pressure on him, but he's a special guy.
best field game last leading sitting
Greene wasn't at his best physically, but he was at his best in leading us to that last field goal. I was sitting there thinking, 'This is the last game he's going to play in this stadium. Who am I to keep him out?' So I let him go back in.
decide doubt last named till waited
If he really wanted the hype, he would've waited till the last day to decide what to do. I don't think there would've been any doubt that he would've been named quarterback of the world.
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.

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.

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.
