accelerate change guy guys line run straight track wiggle
He is not a track guy. He is not a straight line guy. He has some wiggle to him. He isn't a track guy were you say just go deep. He can run reverses, make guys miss, accelerate and change direction.
ethic far good looked practice practiced problem work workout
He looked good, but he's looked good for a while in practice and everything. I don't think his problem is going to be inconsistency in practice. He's always practiced good as far as work ethic and workout habits.
battle figured odds run
I just figured the battle on the odds had run out
draw hard manage today
His (evaluation) will be how he is going to manage the team. You couldn't see that today because it is hard to draw any conclusions from that.
area catching confidence dropping gotten hands lose mental quickly start thinking
His hands have gotten better this year. You can lose confidence so quickly in that area because catching is such a mental thing. If you lose confidence, you will start thinking about dropping balls.
injury negative problems run
But it can be a negative if you run into injury problems.
early knows leaving
But I didn't like him leaving early (for the NFL), so what the heck. I don't know if (Kelly) knows who Gumby is.
battling guys
It's really not open. Those guys are battling for No.2.
comforting far knowing three
That's a pretty comforting feeling, as far as going in there knowing you're probably going to get three points.
asset carolina offensive reason side south state strong successful
I look at that as a strong asset. He was a big reason South Carolina State had a very successful season, especially on the offensive side of the ball. He will also be an asset to us in recruiting.
hoping hospital obviously ready saturday sitting week
I'm hoping he'll be ready Monday. But you're sitting in the hospital Saturday and you're a week away from the game, obviously it's not good.
fall few losing opposed texas throwing virginia
I like what we're doing now as opposed to throwing a few more downfield and losing by 20 to Virginia and losing by 20 to Texas A&M, ... I feel pretty comfortable that I won't fall for the bait.
manages plays time
I want to see some big plays (offensively) and how Will manages the team. This will be the first time we will get to see him do that.
He's probably the least experienced of all the starters.
