against georgia good guys help last louisville season versus year
I want our guys to feel good about last year. But any play made last year against Georgia or Louisville won't help us get a first down versus Marshall. The 2006 season is upon us, and we're 0-0.

Would I be surprised if Boston College jumped? Are you kidding? I think they've been waiting to be asked for a year now, if not longer.

The one on the screen which was the biggest hit of the year so far. It showed the guys that if you get the right leverage and do the right thing, you can have a lot of fun out there. He's earned the right to start this week.

I've studied this a little bit. The reason they do this is because flying in a 'V' formation creates a draft and that saves 70 percent of their energy. If one or two fall out of formation, others will go down and bring them back in. They can't survive on their own.

It was a little bit wet but we were able to get through it. We don't have Field Turf where we are so, if it rains extensively, we'll have to change our practice site.

I've been awake all night waiting on it. That's obviously our biggest concern.

It would behoove us to have a low-scoring game. For that to happen, obviously we've got to play very well on defense and be lucky too,

Things looked bleak there for a long time. But our guys kept hanging in there and we got a little momentum there in the fourth quarter.
convinced decision encouraged field physical position somewhere standpoint strong
Convinced is too strong a word. I'm optimistic. I feel encouraged that he can play that position. The thing with Nate is we've got to make a decision which position will get him on the field quicker. He does enough things from a physical standpoint we think he can play somewhere for us.
