bring great guys human protect trying vernon
The thing that is so great about Vernon is that he doesn't think another human can bring him down. I'm trying to get our other guys over there to protect him.
bring close good happen josh last playing running table year
If we can get Lance playing even better than he did last year and Josh even close to what he was, I think we'd have two pretty good running backs. What Josh would bring to the table is he can go all the way. If we can get him back to that, we'll be in pretty good shape. I don't know if that will happen or not.
areas bring couple days improve rest spend team tried trying
I have a young team that I'm trying to bring along, not only for this game, but for the rest of the season. We tried to spend a couple of those days on areas we thought we could improve on.

I was reaching for my whistle, but I didn't have it on. He doesn't think another human can bring him down. I was trying to get our guys to go over there and protect him after he had about eight guys on him.
double everybody help moaning taking trying
I'm very appreciative of the way they're approaching that. They're taking double reps now, and everybody is trying to help each other. They're not moaning and groaning about it. They're doing what they have to do to be better.

They just ran the ball down our throats.

I'm getting a little concerned about that position. It's so erratic. No one's taking charge, and the door is wide open.
against chance happened last national program time top tremendous
Any time you play on national TV, you don't want what happened last year. It's a tremendous chance for us to show our program off. Any time you play against a Top 10 team, it's an opportunity.
credit fourth game took
We had the game in hand, and we have to give credit to Clemson. Really, I thought they took it took it to us in the fourth quarter, which disappoints me greatly.
game running
The running game wasn't there. If we could have run the ball, we would have won.
ability close run seen
I've seen him run with close to the same ability he had before the injury.
feeding sharks team
That team is like sharks feeding for a turnover.
against defense game good pleased rushing
I was really pleased with the way our defense responded. We had a very very good game against a very good rushing offense. And we got some turnovers, which isn't something we have been doing lately.
against ball good learn line physical running starting struggle takes
If we don't get more physical at the line of scrimmage, we're going to struggle running the ball. They're just starting to learn what it takes to really run the ball against a good defense.
