He's a good runner. He gets his pads low and he's hard to tackle. He was player of the year in the state of Washington a couple years ago, so he's a good, solid back.
I have always thought the Vandy kids played pretty hard and I just thought they were a little short on talent. They have really improved their talent level and they are playing well. They are an extremely good team.
This surface is very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft, phony grass instead of that hard stuff. This is the new stuff to play on. It's very good.
Nothing hardly ever rattles Danny Wuerffel. He has such a sincere faith and belief in God that things are going to work out. He's definitely a good person to have helping to lead that school and those kids, the inner-city kids in New Orleans.
It's very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft grass instead of that hard stuff. It's excellent.
There were some players the prior staff signed that we didn't think would ever contribute, ... We thought some walk-ons were more deserving and had worked hard to earn scholarships.
He's hitting too hard right now. We've got to slow him down some. He's a tough, good-looking inside linebacker.
The only thing I think I got was a little humility to the fact that you have a greater appreciation for all coaches. Sometimes you can coach your heart out, hard as you can, and the other guy just may have a better team and better players.
He needs to get physically a little bigger and stronger. I'm afraid if he gets hit real hard we may be carrying him off the field.
He popped that draw pretty good. He's a good runner. He gets his pads low, and he's hard to tackle.
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.
