Certainly Carlos has an excellent chance of being a starting corner for us and really play well once he stays over there.
Obviously, it didn't start off pretty at 2-3 and tied against Kentucky at halftime. The ball started bouncing our way, defense started getting some fumbles, making things happen and obviously the Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida games were fun for the entire team.
It's going to be a new bunch. Of course, statistically we weren't all that super. But it's an opportunity for some new players to start playing ball.
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.
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.
He's a three-year starter going into his fourth year. That's amazing nowadays, a four-year starter. It just doesn't happen every day. Blake has no starts. None of our quarterbacks have played much at all, so it will be interesting. Hopefully, they'll play like they're capable.
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,
