I would have not thought that would have been the way it would have been. I still think we have extremely good big-play potential.

We’ve gotten our hands on more balls this two-a-day than I can remember in some time. We’re obviously a little bit more experienced back there this year. We were so young last year. We’re much...

I was miserable during Christmas. I haven’t had that as a head coach. I probably made everybody around me miserable.

It probably does (help). It helps wherever you go and play well and win. We have to go a lot of places to recruit. Winning in the first thing wherever you play. But if you...

Our kids are going to handle it, … We’re ready to go play Saturday night if that’s what we do.

I’m hopeful that with time we’ll get that big-play potential that I thought we had at the beginning. I know we have it. We’re just not getting it just yet.

He’s going to be out some time, probably the remainder of the year. I don’t know that, but that’s what I’m assuming.

We did some good things against UAB, but we didn’t finish our drives and our runs like we would have hoped to. So this is a real challenge for our team. Obviously we’ll find a...

A lot of people have talked about our schedule. We’ve always played a tough schedule here at Tennessee. It’s especially frustrating when you think that you were just a few plays away (from wins). …...

It’s very difficult to argue with the folks who think we have a chance to be good.

Getting done what he got done, coming back here to win this football game at a place where he had been, I don’t know if there is a better story in the world than what...

If you look at the history of the school and what they’ve done in a short period of time, it’s quite amazing, … It’s a scary team.

We are not going to do anything that puts our athletes at risk,

He answered it about like I thought he’d answer it,

Rick really understands what’s going on around him and is able to get the ball to guys that can help us make plays. Erik, on the other hand, has a bit more mobility and ability...

I don’t recall saying anything, … I just gave him a big hug.

He’s probably going to have to go home,

Don’t drop balls, don’t get penalties or don’t fumble, I guess. Those are pretty much the answers.

You can’t spell ‘Citrus’ without ‘UT.’

It’s important that we use every minute, every period of the 15 days we are allowed to get our edge back as a football team.

I am so thrilled with this win. I can’t tell you how proud I am of this football team and this staff, and the fight they had. There was absolutely no panic at halftime.

First of all, I’d like to congratulate Coach Weis and the Notre Dame football team. They did a heck of a job this evening. They’ve made a lot of improvement in one football year and...

We need a hero on offense or two or three. [Tailback] Arian Foster is kind of emerging as one of those guys. We need a couple of other guys to come through for us,

Today was OK, probably not as sharp as I would have liked. Probably too many let’s-do-it-over plays and you don’t get those in a game. But that’s why you practice, so tomorrow should be better.

C.J. I’m sure knows a lot about our offense and our signals and our system, … It’s certainly something we’ll have to address.

That is not what we expected. What you saw out there was unacceptable.

We think he gives us more mobility. Gives us little more arm. That is nothing to take away from what Rick did.

We think they both can win for us, and that’s the way we’ll continue to go until we see otherwise,

There is no question that we’re not where we need to be on offense. But I think we can get there.

This has been a very difficult season for everyone, especially Randy. By no means is the result of this season any one person’s fault.

In my 13 years here we haven’t had a season like this one. It’s been tough. We just haven’t made any plays. It’s not play-calling. It’s not just one position.

This is no reflection on Rick Clausen, but I believe the timing will be better with one quarterback. Settling on one quarterback will help as much as anything.

We do some darn good things and then we find a way to screw it up. We’ve got two choices: We find a way to get it corrected or you give up and we’re not...

It’s a tough loss, but it’s not the end of the season.

At times we’ve looked good. At times we’re not very good.
