I told him, if you've got the deep third (of the field to cover), you can't break on that throw, even though you're watching the quarterback,
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.
I was watching him call plays. I said, 'That's a fun way to call it.' You go back and throw one 60 yards downfield. If you don't hit it, who cares? You're going to run it for the next play and you get to stay on the field. We're not near in that category.

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.
