(Johnson) gave up a couple of sacks against (Florida Atlantic) and got lazy and had a holding penalty, but when we came back in and studied all the tapes he was the MVP of the offensive line,

As soon as Fedora was hired, it didn't take (Johnson) long to figure out that we'd split the tight ends out more. He knew that wasn't gonna be him so he asked if he could move down.

We were in it up until the second half when we gave the penalty away. At this level you cannot make elementary mistakes like that.

You can't get caught up in how many sacks does a guy have because it doesn't tell the whole story. Pep is off to a fine start and the sacks will come.

When you look at programs like Nebraska, Oklahoma and Florida State and Ohio State and others and you see the retired numbers there, we felt like this was a logical progression that we needed to really consider. We have a great football heritage, and maybe we need to start recognizing that more so.

We gave up a couple of long runs last week and it has been our Achilles' heel. Sometimes when we're too aggressive those long runs happen. I like the aggressive mistakes, but we have to cut down on those mistakes.
