He's a tough, good looking inside linebacker. He looks like those linebackers at Georgia and Tennessee and those other places.

We have some building to do. If you're not controlling the line of scrimmage, it's going to be tough. You have to at least break even along the line and obviously we're not doing that.

He contributes a lot, ... He's been a wonderful guy, does everything, weightlifting, been a good teammate for all the guys.

This surface is very good. Our players enjoyed it. It's the soft, phony grass instead of that hard stuff. This is the new stuff to play on. It's very good.

A typical, I think, Georgia-Tennessee match-up is on the way because they like coming down and we like to push tempo as well. So it's going to be a big test for us. We've had some down-to-the-wire games; this could be the same.

We've got a support system that gives our players a wonderful opportunity to graduate. If they go to class and give good effort, they can graduate from this school, and I believe that's important when you go out recruiting.
