hopefully learn machine means practice running
We're not a well-oiled running machine by any means right now. It wasn't very pretty for our offense. Hopefully we'll learn from it and go on. We did practice well this week. But right now we practice better than we play the game.
blake build bunch close confidence football fun gain guys hopefully kenny key program rice south stop super trying university
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.
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.
both days hopefully missouri teams
When you have 40 days off, as both us and Missouri have had, some teams can be better or worse, so hopefully we'll be better.
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.
almost ask guy hopefully learn passes stick throw
He's just going to play through it. We're going to stick with him. He's OK. Hopefully he can learn from it. That's what you almost have to do -- let a young guy go play and learn from this. He's got a lot of potential. But we can't ask him to throw 50 passes every game. That's for sure.
hopefully move rid
He's still gimpy. But he's not much of a runner, anyway. So hopefully he won't have to move around too much. Get rid of it quickly.
guys hopefully performance represent team university
Hopefully our guys will represent themselves, our university and our team in an all-out-effort performance this week.
coming crowd good guys hopefully nice performance players spring support turn
Hopefully our crowd will be here. We have a lot of recruits coming and it's always good to have 25,000-30,000 at the Spring Game. That would be a nice crowd. Turn out and support our guys and our players can put on a performance as if they know what they're doing.
hopefully information money send soon thinking tragedy
Hopefully everyone here will know where to send our money as soon as the information comes on that. It is a tragedy that all of us are thinking about.
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.
