blake felt hanging held learning pressure
Blake felt a little pressure and held it too long. He's learning. He's hanging in there.
bowl east felt finish games goal guys picked qualify realistic season second seven wonderful
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.
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.
anyone certainly experience felt knows offensive
He knows our offensive about as well as anyone I could hire. He doesn't have a lot of experience coaching, but he's got a lot of experience in our offense. So I felt like he was certainly well qualified.
again boo coaches fans feelings felt good guys hurt perform playing reason
If our fans felt like booing, I would have said they had a good reason to. To me, you only boo if the guys are not playing with effort, (and if the) coaches don't look like they know what they were doing. We were all in that category. The fans will not hurt my feelings if we perform like that again and (they) boo.
coach fortunate front good knows love people realize saturday stadium team
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.
healthy improve stayed worry
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.
ball block difference good quite tackle
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.
books-and-reading catch pops record
We got Pops a catch for the record book.
everybody guys mostly played practice younger
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.
game maybe played sharp
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.
beat came few game plays unusual
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.
fans head last left near team third time
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.
environment head near team time
The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now. A different environment, completely different, different team, different head coach.
