This was a very important game for us. We needed to show everybody that we could play better than we did last week. Our guys did a good job of that today.
What separates Reggie is his extraordinary ability to plant his foot and go a different direction while at top speed. That's what separates him. Some guys have moves but no speed. Others have speed but no moves.
What my thoughts come back to about this football team right now, this is a program that has found a level of excellence. We'll get back to work and see how it comes together. We have great players coming on to offset the guys that are leaving.
Every coach talks about turnovers, but it's how deeply you emphasize it is where you get consistency. Our guys are riddled with the thought of having to go get the ball at all times in everything that we're doing. It's the number one emphasis in the program for us.
LenDale White got asked about 30 questions to try to get him to say something. He was true to his word the whole way through and somebody thinks they got something out of him. Our guys are great, competitive kids and they want to play and they want the ball. I think that's a really good attribute.
We're a couple guys who want to have fun playing football. That's what it amounts to, and we go back to that, go back to the roots of why we're doing this.
That was a phenomenal night by one guy. I don't want to take anything away from their football team but that guy is an extraordinary player.
I think it's a tremendous accomplishment. I made it clear to the guys after the fact,
I think it's important to have people you know and can count on. I know why guys hire their sons. You have a relationship. It could be a problem, but you know that you've got someone with your best interests at heart. He can tell me something that nobody else can tell me. I see it as an asset.
I think the guys that have come back now have found that they have enjoyed the heck out of it. After the grind of the NFL, the college game seems a little more different and wholesome and spirited.
We took a shot at a couple guys, the best guy in the state of Alabama, the best guy in the state of Florida, and we didn't hit it. One of those guys would have been great.
He's done it with a style. He's taken on all comers, ... He's done all of the things you would hope a guy would do with a program. I think it's a great marriage.
John David is ready, he's as ready as a guy could be in a backup situation. I feel very fortunate we've had him in the wings.
We don't have that number (of touches) in mind. One of the guys you could compare him to his Marshall Faulk, in that offense of the Rams. We'd be lucky if he could be like that.
