That's the kind of team we have, ... We don't have a whole bunch of plays, and our defense holds other teams to low numbers scoring-wise.
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.
Obviously, it didn't start off pretty at 2-3 and tied against Kentucky at halftime. The ball started bouncing our way, defense started getting some fumbles, making things happen and obviously the Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida games were fun for the entire team.
We're just looking at him over there, see if he can help us there. He'll probably be back at defense the next day or two.
The defense didn't tackle worth a dang today. The offense completely won this one.
Defense was putting pressure on us. They had some good blitz schemes going.
Jasper made a heck of a play, then Jerod June stepped in there and made a play. So the defense made a nice rally after getting way behind.
He will probably be back on defense in the next day or two. I don't know where his best position is.
I hope we change something. I hope we get them off the field and our third-down defense will be a lot better. I know our defensive coaches were disappointed. We've got to play extremely better defensively.
If I had a defense like Hal Mumme has, I would be trying them on every kickoff.
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.
