amount games limited lost next ohio preparing quarter school somebody start state system three until
At Oregon, we were on the quarter system and didn't start school until September, so we'd play three games before school started. One year, I lost a game at Ohio State and went back to two-a-days the next week. You can't do that anymore.

Two guys he spoke to long before he committed to us and he kind of wanted to see if they would join him at Kentucky were Josh Minton and Corey Peters, and darned if they're not all here.

I don't think he would've agreed to it if he wouldn't come out and play more than a minor role.

college difficult division hill large toughest
Vanderbilt and us are in probably the toughest six-team division (SEC East) in college football. It makes it very difficult to have a breakthrough year. Stanford, by and large, doesn't have as large a hill to climb.

We need to see how adversity is dealt with as a team. I hope they have the resolve to roll up their sleeves and get it done.
