I've finally got a new line - God is smiling on the Gamecocks. That was my line after close wins at Florida.
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.
Sidney Rice and Blake and all those guys had some super performances, ... Sidney, you know they're trying to stop him. He's close to unstoppable. Everybody's stoppable but he's some player. Little Kenny McKinley made a bunch of key catches all over the place. It was a fun game. This was big for our football program and the University of South Carolina. Hopefully we can gain some confidence and build on it, and not let it get to us.
I really am excited about being here, ... I think we're very close to competing at the top level.
He's still got a little ways to go, but he's got a chance. He's checking off and picking his guys out better. He should be close to really playing very well this year.
We're to the point, ... where if it's a close game late, something good is going to happen for our side.
In games at Florida, we'd have 14, 16 possessions at least,
In all likelihood he probably won't play for us anymore. We'll wait for the investigation to come out.
I know we've got a lot of South Carolina historians around here, but when was the last time South Carolina was tied at halftime and beat the opponent 34-6 in the second half? ... Who knows?
I knew coming into the season that there was a good chance we were not going to win them all.
It's not going to be that easy the rest of the season, ... Blake has to play extremely well for us to have a chance (against Georgia).
The atmosphere was wonderful. These fans were alive before the game and through the game.
They just kept making third and long and some fourths. We have to get better on that down. It shouldn't be that easy for teams to make that play.
It was in the normal course of the game,
