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.
The way our pass protection is right now, I don't know if Blake could last anyway.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Daccus should give us some toughness running the ball that we didn't have last week, ... Our team right now is looking for some tough guys who love to compete and maybe hate losing. Daccus is a tough guy, and he'll add a lot to our offense blocking, running the ball and maybe challenging our offensive linemen to get their butts going, things like that. We're glad to have him back.
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.
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.
Offensively, we should play better than last year. Defensively, we have a lot of new guys. We've got to improve.
