Right now, we think he'll be 100 percent, ... (Monday) was the first time we let him do everything, and he had no setbacks. I watched him close, and I saw no signs of him limping around or gimping around.
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 wasn't as excited about the game after watching film as I was right after the game, ... they'll see things weren't as good as everybody is writing right now.
We played a great football team tonight. They executed beautifully. If I wasn't coaching against them, I really would have enjoyed watching it because they did a great job.
They executed beautifully. I would have enjoyed watching them if I weren't coaching in this game.
I watched film from Wednesday's practice, and he's just a really impressive back. He's just tough. He's just a player. He's a guy you can count on. He'll run block, he'll pass block.
The main thing I want to emphasize the most about Arkansas is their speed. They are fast. They've got to be the fastest team from top to bottom that we'll face. I don't think they have anybody who can't run. It's a little intimidating to watch them on film and see them run the way they do.
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.
We control our destiny still. That's where you want to be.
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.
I've seen a guy have an ACL (injury), then on the first day back, he blows it again, ... Then they repair it again and he goes on to 10 years in the NFL. Sometimes they take better than others.
I've never lost a game for H-O-R-S-E yet at my house,
