We believe it is a very similar recruiting class to last year. You never know until about five years from now. We certainly feel the offensive lineman, the defensive lineman and a few players here and there will help our team immediately.
We all wish that one of them was clearly our best kicker. The feeling is that Josh makes them during the games, or he did at a pretty high percentage last year.
If we didn't have a passing game, we didn't have a chance last night, ... If we didn't throw the ball successfully, we'd still be out there trying to score probably.
Since the Gators didn't have to worry about that game last night, we decided we'd root for Auburn instead.
What we know about them is they had a tough, struggling year last year, but that year is history.
It hurts more. He's on his last chance around here. He knows it, and we'll see if he can make it.
(He) was running around like he did last year (before the injury). He couldn't run like that in practice last season.
He kicked well in practice. We had to make a decision between him and Brett last week. Brett was healthy, so we went in that direction. But we were ready to go with Tuthill. We have a lot of confidence in him.
He looks like a big-time back. There's no question about that. He runs hard, has speed, catches the ball. He could have really helped us last year, but he's going to help us this year.
Most coaches will tell you it's very important to win that last one. That's all anyone talks about.
Mike Davis ran extremely well. He's so much quicker and stronger than last year. So is Cory Boyd. He's a big time back.
I know we've got a lot of South Carolina historians around here, but when was the last time South Carolina was tied at halftime and beat the opponent 34-6 in the second half? ... Who knows?
That's fine with me. We played the last five games without him. If he feels like he can contribute over there, that'll be fine. We'll see how it goes. He can always come back to offense if it's not working.
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.
