We felt like our defense would make a stand. And we also felt like we could run the ball on Clemson.

We're doing a much better job of getting the ball out of the quarterbacks hands and putting the receivers in position to make plays.

We're close to converting. That would've made the score pretty ugly. Louisville had the ball for the majority of the first half but couldn't score. I hope we get the same opportunities.

Since I named him starter, he's taken the ball and run with it. He knows what to expect.

It's got to be an NFL-type mentality. This is probably not a nine yards to the right, touchdown to the left, type game. I hope it is from our standpoint, but we've got to have positive plays and don't turn the ball over and realize sometimes a punt is not the worst thing that can happen.

The protection is better, but I think the ball is also being released quicker, because he knows more where to go with the ball, ... We have to get the ball in the hands of the good players, and I see that type of progress from Kyle.

The defense did dominate, and I think we have an opportunity to be an outstanding defensive team. We ran the ball a little better today than we have in the spring, but we didn't pass and catch the ball very well. That was the big thing today. Our defense had a great day today.
