awful date gains granted great hopefully huge mistakes open sitting win
We take nothing for granted sitting here at 1-0. It was great to win but ... hopefully with that open date we can make huge gains because we made an awful lot of mistakes in that opener.
billing good great
He's a great back. He's strong. He's powerful. I could go on and on and on about him. I think he is as good as the billing and the hype.
blocks everybody gap great hit run
Everybody blocks a gap and you give it to a back and say 'find the hole'. And they do. They've got great vision, they hit it, they're tough, they're physical, they run hard.
best great happen leak sit tim
The best thing that could happen to Tim is for Leak to have a great season. And Tim can just sit back and learn.
challenge defense execute good grasp great stop time trying
It will be a great challenge for us to stop them on offense. I think our defense has a good grasp on what we are trying to do, now it's time to go out and execute in a real game.
advantage athletes corners coverage freedom gives great involved man people running willing year
With their young athletes out there, they're a little more willing to play man coverage this year than they have in the past, at least in those first two games. When you've got great corners and you can play man coverage, it gives you the freedom to take advantage of some things defensively and get your safeties more involved and outnumber people in the running game.

This is certainly an event we all really look forward to. Anytime we have the chance to play in front of the greatest fans in the country, it's a tremendous and overwhelming experience.
build giving good great job missed overall people solid telling
I think we did a great job of not giving up the big play. There were some missed tackles, but overall I was pleased. I keep telling people that we are going to be solid on defense, and if we can build on today's performance, we will be in good shape.
statistics
Right now, we've got one in a row. I'm not really a statistics guy. I don't use a lot of that for motivation.
easy enthusiasm exchanges flat line looked missed offensive positive solid
We really looked flat out there offensively. There was no enthusiasm, and we missed some easy assignments and our handoff exchanges were just not there. On a positive note, the offensive line looked real solid and that was encouraging.
individual key majority opportunity spend teaching throw time today work
Today was a teaching day. We were able to spend the majority of our time on individual work with a corrective mindset. We had the opportunity to throw it around a little more and key on execution.
address awful ball center concern continue early exchange glaring ground personnel today until
On the other side, our glaring concern right now comes at the center position. We must have put the ball on the ground 10 times or so today during the quarterback-center exchange alone. This is something we'll continue to address each day until we find the right personnel or combination. I know it's still awful early but it is something we need to get rectified pretty quickly.
athletes needed players playing
We're playing a lot of players on the back end on defense, and they keep getting better. We've just needed to get better athletes on the field.
against awful concerns creates face joe lee number offense opportunity per problems run three yards
When you look at the number of yards per carry, when you face a (defensive coordinator) Joe Lee Dunn defense, it concerns me. I have had the opportunity to play (against) him (for) three years when he was at Mississippi State. He creates an awful lot of problems to you as an offense. You can't run a traditional offense against him.
