We knew he was an excellent quarterback. We had him hemmed in in the first half, but we weren't good enough to do it the whole game.
We got Pops a catch for the record book.
We're going to try to practice everybody the same amount, but mostly the younger guys. Guys that haven't played much, which is about the whole team.
We're trying to get Blake quicker, quicker, quicker. He needs to get rid of the ball quicker. His throwing motion needs to be quicker. His decision-making needs to be quicker. Other than that, he's ready.
We feel pretty good about a bunch of them. A bunch of them have pretty much indicated that they will commit to us, and there's some we can't take their commitments right now. So it's a balancing act.
toward the end there, my give-a-damn was busted. This is not the way I ever coached...I'm not proud of what happened, but there it is.
Bobby and I come from academic schools. He comes from Furman and I come from Duke. We're academic guys.
Blake twisted his ankle. I don't know bad it is. He's on crutches. They say there's no fracture and that it's an ankle sprain.
Blake's much better prepared now than he's ever been and he's got a chance. He's checking off and he should be close to really playing well this year.
Blake is scheduled to go about as long as he can, and we'll go from there.
Blake has come a long way, and I think he can go farther.
Blake felt a little pressure and held it too long. He's learning. He's hanging in there.
We were fortunate ... their safety, Lynn Hughes, fell down,
We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
