We realize we have not done anything to earn the spotlight, but we'll take it, ... Hopefully, our play will prove that maybe we deserve it. So that's what we'll try and do Thursday night.
I think it will make us a better offense, defense and a better team. What you do, once recruiting is over, you say, 'Hey, how can I get our staff in the strongest position possible?' And I really believe this gives us a very strong coaching staff.
I thought O.J. Murdock and Freddie Brown and Cade Thompson, offensively did some things that were impressive.
It is embarrassing and I apologize because this is a guy we recruited. When you recruit one and they are troublemakers, or appear to be, it makes you feel bad, so we have to do a better job of recruiting the right kind of kids. We're going to mess up occasionally, like we did with this one guy.
Maybe I'm asking Blake to do things that are a little too difficult right now,
We got to get better on defense, we got to get better on offense, we got to get better everywhere. Simple as that.
We have not done some stupid things that occasionally happens to teams,
We haven't made a lot of big things happen on special teams, but we haven't had a lot of bad things go against us. So we're probably an average special teams group.
We've got to slow him down some. He looks like those linebackers that play at Georgia and Tennessee.
We threw one up, but we should have tackled the guy somewhere. We should have been able to run that guy down, but we couldn't do it. That was just one of the big plays in the game. Nah, 28-7 is no safe lead for us. We didn't force a punt in the second half, so it wasn't safe. They should have scored another touchdown.
We thought we had a chance to make history if the ball bounced our way, and it did.
To finish second in the SEC East is a wonderful season for our team. Obviously, we were not picked that high. To qualify for a bowl game, that was our big goal for our team. We felt it was achievable and realistic and our guys went out and won seven games to go to the bowl game.
He's a big target and catches everything. As a quarterback, those are the guys you like. He's got a chance to help us win big around here and has a chance to break some records because we're going to be firing.
He's a good runner. He gets his pads low and he's hard to tackle. He was player of the year in the state of Washington a couple years ago, so he's a good, solid back.
