defensive depend eight guys judge looking recruiting speed work
We've got a lot of guys that have size, speed and quickness. I always judge our recruiting by linemen and this has been an exceptional year. We're always looking for guys at defensive line. We feel like all eight of these guys will have a chance. It will depend on them... and their work ethic.
backs clinic coaches coaching competition days defensive easing enthusiasm faces few good guys high looking mental past quicker school showing start starts today tomorrow watched watching
It was a good practice. Guys are showing a lot of enthusiasm. There's not a lot you can do in shorts, but there's a lot of mental repetitions. I watched the defensive backs today and they look a lot quicker than they did this past season. There are a lot of new faces we're looking at with that position. There will be a lot of competition with those guys this spring. Tomorrow we'll start easing into contact. Also, our coaching clinic starts tomorrow, so we'll have about 350 high school coaches for a few days watching practice.

great hype learning mistakes people players recruiting takes
There's so much hype in recruiting now, people think once they're recruited they're going to be great players right out of the box. That doesn't happen, especially at quarterback. It takes two-to-three years of making mistakes and learning from your mistakes.
defense kicking played worked
Our defense played hard, we just didn't do anything with our kicking game. It let us down at times, that's my fault. We must not have worked enough on it, but we will work on it.

Ben was a little different. Sometimes you wonder about homesickness, but he's really handled it well -- a lot better than I would have if I was his age. The players have accepted him. His work ethic is outstanding.
