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.
days life
It wasn't one of the better days in my life.
days hurt
Do I have to? You really know how to hurt a guy, don't you? It wasn't one of the better days of my life.
business close coach days either friends-or-friendship fun include relationship respect
I don't think I have a lot of close friends in life, but I include coach Beamer as one of them. That relationship won't change. Business is business. I think we have enough respect for each other . . . we've all been through days like that. It's not fun for either one of us.
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.
ball ran
They just ran the ball down our throats.
concerned door taking wide
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.
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.
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.
