Sometimes, I think they think it's really a difficult thing to throw and catch and complete long passes down the field, ... But the talent level is here to do that.
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.
We've just got to get the expectancy level up, ... Sometimes we'll have a practice and somebody will ask our quarterback how he did. He'll say, 'I think we did pretty good,' and we'll start watching the tape, and I'll ask, 'You said you did pretty good?' Playing well, they don't know exactly what that means.
In games at Florida, we'd have 14, 16 possessions at least,
In all likelihood he probably won't play for us anymore. We'll wait for the investigation to come out.
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?
I knew coming into the season that there was a good chance we were not going to win them all.
It's not going to be that easy the rest of the season, ... Blake has to play extremely well for us to have a chance (against Georgia).
The atmosphere was wonderful. These fans were alive before the game and through the game.
They just kept making third and long and some fourths. We have to get better on that down. It shouldn't be that easy for teams to make that play.
It was in the normal course of the game,
They've got pass rushers all over the place. They've got cover guys, just a very talented group of guys, ... But no different than Georgia and some of the other top teams we're going to play. ... We've got execute, move the ball and try to score some points.
Not necessarily regret. He sort of helped bring Tyrone in. I think Tyrone's an excellent coach. It just didn't work out, I guess, is the easier way to say it when we had to make a change there in the middle of the year.
I'm not going to repeat it. It was painful enough (the first time).
