I'm about as low as I've been in a while,

They know they have to go to class. Their first priority is to get an education. You're here to play football, but you're also here to get an education. You have got to go to class.

They lost receivers, but they have a receiver (Robert Jordan) who has already had 11 catches in one game. They are going to be the best receivers we've seen to date.

They made a lot of adjustments on both sides of the football, ... more pressure on defense.

They were scheduled to miss the Middle Tennessee game. It's not their fault there was a hurricane.

It was not bad, it was really a pretty good practice, but we can be better. We're at the point where we need to stress to be as good as we can be all the time.

It's been different for them. Normally these guys would be walking the halls and talking to girls. When they're really going to be glad they did this is in August when the rest of the freshmen come to practice.

It's day-to-day with Derrick. His conditioning is good, but he's a freshman, so it's going to take some time.

It's important that this game is competitive. This should give us a good chance and, hopefully, be entertaining for our fans.

That's something that we're going to have to continue to improve on; it's something that we need. It's close contact, usually you don't get many injuries there. It's a drill where the defense has got to learn to separate and the offense has to accelerate their feet and just keep doing it.
