Brett has done a little bit better. I would say if you had to rank them, that's the way it would be - Blake and Cade and Brett and Tommy.
It will be a little bit different style of offense from what I'm used to coaching.
We're actually trying to separate them a little bit. They need to be their own person a little bit more,
We'll be expecting a little bit of anything. When you have a team that has struggled and you need a big spark, what you would try to do is create some blitz to maybe hit the quarterback, cause a fumble, scoop it up and go score, get those kind of touchdowns.
There's a little bit of excitement and certainly I'm looking forward to it. But still, this game's about our players against their players. I know sometimes we coaches get too much in the spotlight of the game.
Coaches go out with a little bit of strut in their step instead of hanging their heads down if they get clobbered.
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.
We just try to improve and improve and improve. We don't worry about how we look so much. We stayed healthy and that's always, I think, the number-one priority.
We weren't quite good enough. We didn't block well enough or tackle well enough and that was the difference in the ball game. A little block here, a little tackle there.
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.
It was there tonight. It was there to be had if we were real sharp and maybe played a little better offensively. It was a game where we had a chance, but we couldn't get it done.
It was an unusual game, but the Gamecocks won, and that's what we came here to find out. I'm not going to feel too bad, because a few plays here and there, they beat us.
The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... The fans left by the third quarter, I think, the last time I was there. A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach.
