We knew he was an excellent quarterback. We had him hemmed in in the first half, but we weren't good enough to do it the whole game.

Brad ran well. We tackled poorly but he made us miss. He's an excellent quarterback.

Certainly Carlos has an excellent chance of being a starting corner for us and really play well once he stays over there.

He can run out of trouble, has excellent mobility. When the protection's a little suspect, like it is right now, he'd give us the best chance to win.
coach excellent extremely fit good reputation wonderful
He is an excellent coach, an excellent recruiter and a good person. We think he will fit in extremely well here as he has in the past. He has a wonderful reputation as a coach and as a recruiter.
best blake clear earned excellent felt guy guys hopefully mitchell named prepared starter summer trying
We felt like Blake is much better prepared mentally, physically. He's had an excellent summer working out, and it's clear to all of us here that he's our best guy to go out there. So when it's obvious, we've named him the starter. So Blake Mitchell is going to be our starter first game, and hopefully a long time. We'll go from there. Back-ups we don't know yet, we're trying a lot of guys right there. But Blake's earned it and he's our starter.
ability athlete ball beat contain cover excellent guys hope pressure texas throw
He's an excellent athlete with his ability to run, just like the Texas quarterback, Vince Young. You hope to try to make him throw the ball and not beat you running. We're going to try to contain him and try to cover their guys and try to get pressure on him.
bring change easier excellent helped middle regret sort tyrone work
Not necessarily regret. He sort of helped bring Tyrone in. I think Tyrone's an excellent coach. It just didn't work out, I guess, is the easier way to say it when we had to make a change there in the middle of the year.

Cory Boyd and Mike Davis are running very well. Mike is a lot faster than he was last year and Cory is in excellent shape.

Everybody assumed that was the greatest college football down there. I think college football is excellent all over the country right now.
alabama bee bigger change helped hopefully performance stronger though win
We have to change our ways, that's a positive. Hopefully we won't put a performance like this on again. Even though Alabama is a bigger and stronger team, we should have bee more competitive. A turnover here or there may have helped us win the game, but we got no turnovers.
best everybody hit imagine ourselves plenty practice prepare run running shoot team tries trying
The only thing we try to do is prepare our team for the real season, ... To be the best we can on Sept. 8. That's what we're trying to do. ... We shoot for balance. We're going to try and hit enough, not too much. We're going to try and run enough, not too much. And practice plenty without running ourselves into the ground. I would imagine everybody tries to do that.

The only thing I know is he's got a lawyer talking to our lawyer trying to settle his deal. He told me he's not coming back. So that's all I know.
