I don't know why we don't execute in that area. It's there to be had. We just for whatever reason can't stand prosperity, I guess. Plus, I think we like our kickers to be tops in America in scoring points.

We feel better about it today than we did going into the game. We still have to see how they do with tighter coverage. Boise State played mostly soft coverage, not much press at all so no one had to worry about getting off a jam or redirecting or that kind of thing. We'll see how they handle a little more pressure.
We're expecting to get him back this season. We just don't know when.
We're just rolling them and evaluating them. We're rotating them as equally as we can.
We're just proud of the fact that everybody is contributing. You want to spread it around enough so the other coach can't just hone in on one part of your game.
We're hoping by the time we roll around in the fall we could take that variable of 'How much does a guy really know?' out of it. If he is struggling with the learning of it, he is probably not going to play. If he understands it, now it is more of a competition.
We're beat up and fatigued and there are some guys in Gainesville licking their chops. The guys on our defense are flat-out warriors. (Defensive tackle) Ray Gant would not come out of the game and probably should have a couple of times. You have to tip your hat to them and coach Willie Martinez and rest of our defensive coaches.
We know what it feels liked to be here and win it, and we know what it feels like to be here and lose it.
When we were down 28-0, I didn't know if anything good was going to happen tonight. But to the credit of our players we made it a battle. We made them sweat a little bit.
The only competition that (Stafford) is doing right now is just trying to learn what to do. The other three guys, even four guys when you count (walk-on Nick) Dalton, have a lot better idea of what to do, even on the basics of calling the cadence. He's a talented passer. I think we all know that, and you can tell he's going full speed as far as trying to learn, but there's so much to learn in such a short amount of time.
When you start talking about national implications, we really don't have much control over that at all.
We're going to make sure he's the primary target a lot. We have more pass plays than I've ever had in our offense that are geared toward the tight end.
