offense start stick
Everything is going to come down to this game. This is our measuring stick for how well our offense is going to do in the SEC and we're going to end up in the SEC. If we're going to take back The Swamp, it's going to start Saturday.
motion pieces putting start wheels
The talent's there. And the togetherness is getting there. If you start putting all the wheels in motion and all pieces together, it's a pretty good-looking puzzle.
clicking coming game main push running rushing start stay week yards
We've got to have more than (91) yards rushing to stay with anybody, even this upcoming week. That's going to be one of the main emphases coming this week in practice. We've got to push the running game and start clicking right.
importance start understand
If we're going to take back the Swamp, it's going to start Saturday. We know that and understand the importance of this game. We're not overlooking it.
bit coaching future locker momentum room start takes time until wheels
The future is really bright. Any time there is a coaching change, it takes a little bit until the wheels start rolling. You kind of feel the momentum in the locker room now.
backed chris critics-and-criticism great position
Our quarterback position is going to take a lot of criticism, but Chris has been our guy. He has never backed down and he's done a great job.
change mouth sour taste winning year
I think we all have a sour taste in our mouth because we haven't been on the winning end of many of those games. We have this year to change it.
improve maybe next week
I think sometimes maybe we just didn't have the feel for it yet, and I think we got first-game jitters under our belt. Just improve next week -- that's going to be the big thing.
prepare
It is early. It's an excuse. We have to prepare better.
chris position pressure time
I think any time you take a position like here at Florida, there's pressure on you. There's pressure on me, there's pressure on (quarterback) Chris (Leak). There's pressure on all of us. We have to produce.
anybody glaring playing
We haven't been playing well. Anybody can see that. We're making some glaring errors.
definitely earned everybody family owe teammates
No. I think I owe it to myself, my family and my teammates to play. Like everybody can say, I definitely earned my scholarship.
everybody five games left offense prove season talked
Everyone has talked about it. We have five games left in the season and we're going to try to prove everybody wrong. That's the big focus, to show this offense works. We know it does.
cost everybody focus line offensive penalties surprised
Everybody is surprised and also disappointed with our offense. But we need to focus on things we can control. We've had penalties that cost us and turnovers that cost us, and the offensive line has been inconsistent.
