We have some guys that may not have been recruited as heavily because of the location of their high school or whatever, but these players are just as good. And some of them have already...

I still think that we’re in good shape physically and mentally. We’ve just been practicing a lot at night, because that’s when we’ll play most of our games.

I am very happy with the defense. They did an excellent job Saturday. People haven’t been able to sustain the run. I’m real happy with the defense. That’s why I’m so disappointed with that game.

It’ll be a good diversion for everyone. Each day gets better. Just the mere fact that everybody knows about everybody now is a huge thing and a big relief.

Overall we saw some good things and some bad things, just like you do every scrimmage, … The good thing is that I feel like we’re farther along at this point than we’ve been in...

Without a doubt. Maybe one freshman (would start or play a lot).

It’s a combination of things. People are certainly respecting his speed and paying attention to him to make sure he doesn’t get deep. They’re trying to not let us get the ball to him. Part...

Freddie has done a great job. He’s had a great camp and spring and he’s a guy we look to provide a spark for us. I think he’s going to have a good year.

It was an easy decision to make,

We’ve really got to look at it and see what gives us the best opportunity to make plays.

I think it’s been great. They are doing it the right way. It really helped us against Florida. If we can, I’d like to have it.
