football patton radar recruiting
Patton is a real find for us. He went under the radar during football recruiting and it's to our benefit.
obviously orleans people three
I had to take my New Orleans recruiter, which is one of my better recruiters, and try to find where to put him, because obviously we're not going to go down there for a while. I had to readjust three people because of the hurricane.
gets guy moved problem putting
He was the No. 3 guy going into spring. Then he moved up to No. 2. If we had to play tomorrow, I would have no problem putting him in there. He's not flashy. He just kind of gets it done.
seen
We've seen worse. We've come through a lot together.
appeared ball chances fairly good guys moved seemed tonight younger
We appeared to get good play at quarterback once again. We moved the ball well and some of our playmakers made plays. There were a lot of younger guys who got their chances tonight and it seemed like things went fairly well.
benefit chance gives guys players
When you have that many players out, front-line guys, it gives some other guys a chance to get some reps. I think it's going to benefit us in the long run.
guys kids opportunity schemes showcase
It's all about the kids being able to play and execute. It's not about the schemes or anything like that. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some of these guys to showcase their skills.
advantage avoided guys leaps love question seen taking
You would love to have avoided the injuries, but there's no question we've seen progress, leaps and bounds, from some guys taking advantage of the situation.
against ball dropped few hurt needed ok run threw tough
It's just awfully tough to run against our defense. We threw the ball OK and were hurt by a few dropped passes. Overall, we got done what we needed to accomplish.
With T.J. out there, I got a little worried.
adding calling dimension effort form game improve lots officials pleased ready shape time
We're not in any way, shape or form ready to play a game but we're getting there. Overall, for a first scrimmage, and the first time with officials calling penalties, this was pretty good. We have lots to improve but our effort was good. I was real pleased with our young kickers and punters. They're adding a dimension we've lacked.
beat hail happen seconds supposed yards
They beat us on a Hail Mary, going 86 yards in 16 seconds at our place. That's not supposed to happen with your own clock-keeper.
area ask bigger call east hearing kid mouth schools texas time trying word
Every time you call a kid from the East Texas area or Lafayette, we ask them if you have any transfers in there. We're trying to write them down through word of mouth and see if they are on our list. That's how we're hearing it. The bigger schools have more connections to tell them where they surfaced at.
giving guys injuries limited might miss nobody none opportunity otherwise players quicker ready time younger
None of the injuries are major. Nobody should miss any time in August. We're limited in some of the things we can do now because we only have so many guys up front, but on the other hand, this is giving a lot more opportunity to some younger players who will be ready to play for us quicker than they otherwise might have been.
