college football game goes good gotta great hall job last players
You gotta give it to Barry. His last game and he goes out on top. It's probably only fitting. He's a good football coach. I've told people, 'He's going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.' He's done a great job at Wisconsin. His players responded.
ball beat football good run running team teams turn
Obviously, when you turn the ball over like we did you can't beat a team like (Tech), ... We have to run the football better. We can't beat good football teams running like we did.
built college football game order philosophy running since successful
It's not over-recruiting. Since Ole Miss, we've built our philosophy around running the football. You've got to have a running game in order to be successful in college football.
academics degree football players understand
Academics are the No. 1 thing. It's the first thing we tell players when they come to Auburn. They are here to get a degree first and foremost. Once they understand that, they understand that football is second.
football glad good great knew players worked year
It's a great day. We knew we had a great football team, and it was a great year for us. It makes you feel good for the players because they did so much for us here. I'm glad it worked out for them.

We appreciate the hard work and efforts that David gave to the Auburn football program over the last year. He did an excellent job as our defensive coordinator this past season, and I know he'll continue to be successful in the future.
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.

barry comparable compete few football found guys last replace team ups
They've had a few ups and downs, been consistent, found a way to win. It's been one of those years for Barry also where he's had to replace a lot of guys and get his football team back to try to compete with what they had last year. So we're two very comparable teams.

There's probably more question marks on this depth chart than we've had the last few years.
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.

We had our shot at them and we didn't beat them,
accepted ben ethic handled players wonder work
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.
