I don't want to coach too far into my 60s. By then, I'll be playing golf four or five times a week.
blocks guys looks plan players run sort straight
Our plan will be about like everyone else's - not try to let him run all over the place. Our players know what they have to do. They have to contain. You don't just run straight at a quarterback who looks like him. Hopefully, our guys will get off blocks and sort of corral him.
attitude building care good great needs players sort team trust work
Our attitude is not as good as it needs to be here at Carolina, trust me. We're not there. We have a long way to go. We don't have a great team right now. We have a team that is sort of building. We have some building to do. We have some attitude adjustments. We've got to have some players who really care a lot more than they're demonstrating right now. It can be done. But it's a work in progress.
players relaxed remained verge
Our players have remained relaxed when on the verge of winning,
best few hit hung played rookie rough sort threw throwing
Patrick got off to a very rough start. The first two he threw right to the guy. ... After that he sort of hung in there as best as he could, and hit a few here and there. But he played about like a rookie quarterback, I guess. I don't know where he was throwing some of those.
best defensive far played seemed switched whatever work
That was the best defensive by far we've played this year, ... We switched some things up and whatever we did it seemed to work for us.
beyond captain chance next plays whoever
Whoever plays hard, whoever plays well will have a chance to be the captain the next game, ... We're beyond going by years in school.
easier found hear nobody plays run snap whispers
We have our quarterback whisper. I found that's a lot easier on the ears, ... That way nobody can hear anything but the center. So he just whispers to the center, we snap it and run plays that way.
everywhere players ready tried
You just try to get your players ready, ... We just went and tried to get our players ready to play everywhere we went, and that's what we'll try to do here.
beat both faster good guys kicked minutes played realm seems
We played well at times both offensively and defensively. But in the whole realm of 60 minutes we didn't play good enough to beat Missouri. It seems like they played faster than our guys did. Give them credit, they kicked our tails.
beat conference effort good holding played points proud sharp tonight win
We're very proud of the effort of our players. The effort was there. It was the little things here and there that made us a loser. We're just not sharp enough right now to beat a good team. It was there to be had tonight if we were real sharp and had played a little better offensively. Holding them to 17 points should be good enough to win a conference game.
beat believe certainly chance field plays run slow stay throw
We'll go let Antonio throw it around and run it around and see if we can make some plays and stay on the field offensively and slow them down defensively, ... If we do those things we certainly believe we have a chance to beat Auburn.
guy looking older player plays senior
We don't have that person. It's hard, ... We're not looking for that person right now because no one plays that well that's a senior or an older guy. We just don't have an older guy that is a dominating-type player that can be a leader.
agreeing appreciate basically couple ncaa next players satisfied
We are satisfied with the results. We appreciate the NCAA basically agreeing with our proposal. For the next couple of years, we will only have 83 players on scholarship.
