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.
There's not too much to say. Alabama thoroughly beat us. They are a better team. They were coached better, they played better, and they looked like they will have a big season. They have a heck of a team.
You all think I'm the first guy to ever coach against his alma mater, ... This happens a lot around the country.
We don't think all this attention will get to him. That's something we talk to him about.
We'll wait and see if he can play or not, ... Antonio will be our quarterback if Blake can't go.
We'll try to help him as much as we can, but he's got to play the game. We'll see what happens.
When you're the head coach in college, the athletic director and president are your bosses, but they do not come in and tell you how to run the football program,
We had a makeshift offensive line most of the game it seemed like.
We've got some building to do. You guys know football as well as I do,
We have competition for positions all the time. So if some of these other linemen look like they can play better than the linemen we have out there, we'll certainly give them a chance.
We're not a well-oiled running machine by any means right now. It wasn't very pretty for our offense. Hopefully we'll learn from it and go on. We did practice well this week. But right now we practice better than we play the game.
We're very proud of the effort of our players. The effort was there. It was the little things here and there that made us a loser. We're just not sharp enough right now to beat a good team. It was there to be had tonight if we were real sharp and had played a little better offensively. Holding them to 17 points should be good enough to win a conference game.
