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 time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach. The fans, probably their enthusiasm is about 10 times greater than it was that day.
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.
We want to play big time, so we have to act big time all year long.
It's probably the best team they have had in a long time in Nashville, ... A very competitive team that has won four and had a chance to win about one or two others. They will be a big challenge for us.
It seemed like we were playing catchup (the whole game). We were out of it early in the third quarter. We thought we could change something up with Antonio in there but he had a tough time communicating the plays.
We actually get along I think very well, ... I talk with Phil every time I see him.
To play a team like this and get your quarterback hit time after time after time
When the time is appropriate, I'll answer any questions relative to this matter.
I think it was best for all concerned. I had already done my things there and I left, and to do it again wouldn't have made sense for me or for Florida. So I hope people can realize it was time to move on. I feel fortunate South Carolina offered me a chance here to try to do some things that have never been done before. Almost every victory around here is the first time that ever happened.
I had 12 wonderful years there, and I thought it was time to move on, so I moved on, ... Hopefully, our fans are happy I'm here, and I think Florida fans are happy with their coach. Everybody's happy.
He's taken his punishment and didn't whimper or complain. He served his time and is ready to go.
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?
