Al Borges Good Quotations

We've got good enough talent that we should have represented ourselves better than that. We've had a pretty good spring - we've been playing better than that - but today we weren't very good.

He looked pretty good. When we gave him some room to run, I think he did a pretty nice job. He's going to be a really good football player once he learns our offense more.

He was going along pretty good there. I was hoping that we would continue with him this last week, but I don't think he'll miss a beat, as long as he feels good, and it seems like he does.

You know how no-pads (practices) are -- it's like glorified aerobics. It's not really football, but it's a good chance to see guys move around.

We weren't too good today. We started out good, but we lost some momentum in there and had a heck of a time getting in synch.

We're going to try to get him where he can compete for the No. 2 spot. It's going to be very important this spring to see him come around and take that next step. From a fundamental standpoint, he's has gotten much better. Now, he's just got to understand the offense, make good decisions and show it under pressure and he can make a push for that spot.

It's a little atypical of Wisconsin because ... they've always been so stout on defense. They're a really good schematic team defensively and they'll have a good plan for us, I'm sure. With a lot of time to prepare, they'll come up with something. Never underestimate a Barry Alvarez-coached team.

The nice thing about Auburn is you can replace good players with good players. We were lucky enough to do that.

It was a pretty good day for the first day back. Our throw and catch was not too bad for not throwing for a while. We made some really good plays. It usually takes you three or four days to get your rhythm back.

The kid at times showed flashes of brilliance. He stood in there and threw some passes, put them on a dime with people in his face. Once he goes through those experiences, I think that guy could be a really, really good quarterback.

This is a good experience. It's not a nice experience. But it's a good experience to be in a bowl game and play under that kind of pressure and know now that you've experienced that and the next time it comes around, you'll be better prepared for it.
