We used last week to our advantage of getting guys healthy. We've got almost everything in that we want to do against Arkansas. We're going into this game healthy and full of speed, a lot of energy.
area practice talk
This spring, we're going to concentrate in the area of being very physical. You can't talk about it; you can't put it on the blackboard. You have to do it on the practice field. We're going to do that this spring.
continue forced last offense ourselves people played situation
We played a lot of people on offense and defense. We're going to continue to do that. We got a lot of depth. Last week, we just got in a situation where we couldn't (play many players). This week, we forced ourselves to play young guys.
challenge coaches looked people problem question seconds situations wonder
A lot of people wonder why you want a coaches challenge if every play is looked at by the officials. The problem is when you go back and look at situations where there's a question about a play. You only have 10-15 seconds for them to look at the play at hand.
good knew pressure throw
They're good players, ... but we knew if we got any kind of pressure on them at all they'd throw it up for grabs.
athletic best couple doubt entire football happen hated maybe people
You've just got to do your best and don't look back. I never do. I think it made Auburn a better place. Not just football, the entire campus. I hated going through something like that, but after it's all said and done, it was maybe the best thing to ever happen to me, our coaches, this football program, and this athletic program. I don't think there's any doubt that people can look and say that Auburn is better than it was a couple of years ago.
came doubt football game guys win
There was no doubt who was going to win this football game after the first 5 or 6 minutes. Our guys came out and made a statement.

As coaches, we approach any game the same, whether it's a bowl game here or in Atlanta or New Orleans. But the thing we want to do is to make sure the guys enjoy it and have fun. It's supposed to be fun.
year
This is not going to be our most experienced year at quarterback,
build conference defensive guys ranked rather speed tends
This conference tends to build with speed rather than bulk, ... It's very noticeable. If you look at the defensive stats, there are a lot of guys ranked very high.
bad chance defense easier games good playing week
The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.
spread
It is full-speed tackling, and we want to see them compete. But we're not going to go out there and do a lot of things that's going to get spread around.
college cox heck name
I think Brandon Cox is going to be a heck of a college quarterback. He's going to make a name for himself.
