academic corporate fly gets jet license passion rent standpoint tremendous wants
Shane has got a tremendous passion to be a pilot. It's not something that he could do here from an academic standpoint so he's going to be going down there because he wants to be a corporate pilot.

advantage ball blocking blocks field front gets guys longer position special sustain teams touches whenever
When you can get that kind of field position through special teams it's a big advantage. Guys like that, the one thing it does is it gets the guys in front of them to keep blocking longer and sustain their blocks because they know that whenever he touches the ball he can go the distance.
across ball carolina gets guy hole mean might move north run yards
It comes across pretty well (on tape). You think there's a hole and you see them play Auburn and North Carolina and you think the guy might get 15 yards but he only gets about eight. They run to the ball very well. But that doesn't mean we can't move the ball.

It will be nice when that day comes.

The schedule gives us balance in terms of not being on the road more than one week at a time.

They all watched the Iowa State-Army game on television. They saw what kind of team Army had.
best guys looking means opportunity
There will be two guys competing. I don't look if a guy is a walk-on or a guy is a scholarship player. I'm looking at who is the best guy that's going to give us our best opportunity to win. That's who we're going to go with. Walk-on or scholarship means nothing to me.
