bunch choice choices excited guy instead last looks sign since year
We wanted to sign two quarterbacks last year and didn't. Since I've been here, we didn't have choices at quarterback. Now we have choices ... I'm excited to have a quarterback roster that looks like an SEC quarterback roster, instead of one semi-experienced guy and a freshman, then a bunch of walk-ons.
ball close game learned lesson turning
We learned a lesson in turning a close game into a rout. All you've got to do is turn the ball over.
curve hope learning mind pick pursue sell size trying wants
We're trying to sell him. He's got to make up his mind if he wants to pursue this, and I hope he does because I think with his size and hand-eye coordination he could help. The learning curve will be fast, but I think he can pick it up pretty fast.
game talk win
We'd better win this game (Auburn) before we talk about any bowls.
behind clearly good room strengthen summer weight
Fidler did some good things for a while, but he's got to get in the weight room this summer and strengthen his upper body. He's clearly behind the other two (quarterbacks).
guys hope injuries past
It's the most unbelievable thing I've ever been around. I hope we've put the injuries past us. We'll have to see if some of these other guys can play.
good opportunity people physical
It's probably pretty well-timed. From a physical standpoint, it's a good opportunity to get people freshened up.
needs offense responsibility
The offense needs leadership. The quarterbacks have to take responsibility in that area.

I've had other guys try to influence recruits, but never as demonstratively as Micah. He didn't want to be the only top recruit ... he wanted to get us some help down here.
close short sick stomach
It just makes me sick to my stomach that we were close to doing something that would have been very significant and again, we come up just short on it. We had our chances.
situation ugly
It showed me that we weren't going to give in, ... to what was an ugly situation going into halftime.
aaron absence bring competition gained great intense left position spring strength tackle weighs weight
It's great to have Aaron back in school. During his absence he's gained strength and weight (now weighs 298 pounds). He will bring intense competition to the left tackle position during spring practice.
bad change move pure
They were some bad calls, pure and simple. You move on. They aren't going to change them.
fourth good importance late looking nice supported team troops
They were rockin' and rollin', especially late in the fourth quarter, ... They supported us even when it wasn't looking very good for us. I think our whole team understands the importance of what our troops are doing for us right now. It was nice to have them here in the stadium.
