Tommy Tuberville Good Quotations

We're not going to start talking about anything but playing the next game. It's a good start. It's a good start.

Obviously, when you turn the ball over like we did you can't beat a team like (Tech), ... We have to run the football better. We can't beat good football teams running like we did.

He's got great presence on the field, in the huddle, at the line. Even when there's pressure around him in the pocket, even with six or seven people (rushing) and he's got to get rid of it, Brandon always looks like he's in control. That's the sign of a good quarterback.

We got the game plan in. All we are doing is polishing it and working on special teams. We had a little scrimmage with the underclassmen and it was a good day. We'll give them a few more plays tomorrow. It was a good day, a good practice, but it was a little wet.

We always win some, we always lose some. This year, we probably won more than we have the last few years. We probably had more success today than we thought we were going to, and that always makes you feel good. Our guys worked hard, they did an excellent job in selling the program. It's been a good month.

You gotta give it to Barry. His last game and he goes out on top. It's probably only fitting. He's a good football coach. I've told people, 'He's going to be in the College Football Hall of Fame.' He's done a great job at Wisconsin. His players responded.

As I told our team, this is over. We start back next Monday morning at 7 o'clock with all the guys coming back minus the seniors. But this will be a good team. We had a good year. We had an excellent year.

The more games you play, the more chance you have of playing a bad game on offense. Your defense can play good every week as long as they play hard. It's a lot easier to play defense than it is offense.

They're good players, ... but we knew if we got any kind of pressure on them at all they'd throw it up for grabs.

It's a great day. We knew we had a great football team, and it was a great year for us. It makes you feel good for the players because they did so much for us here. I'm glad it worked out for them.

It's been a good week of practice. It was a good day off yesterday. There's a lot more enthusiasm. It's pretty hard going eight out of nine days. They needed a little rest, but tomorrow we'll go.

The next few days, he'll visit a couple teams (to) see if there's any interest that he's wanted to get back into the NFL. We'd love for David to stay. He's done a great job for us, but I don't want anybody on my staff that doesn't have aspirations of a future in whatever they want to do. He did a good job for us.

It was a good day of practice. It was the last practice in any pads; tomorrow we will just be in helmets. All of the game plan is in. Everybody is ready to go. It was a fun day, but we're winding it down, and tomorrow we'll get in more of a game-type mood.

It was a good victory for us, ... It wasn't one of our best games, but we had some great individual performances.

It was a good practice today. We concentrated more on throwing the football. Tomorrow we'll have a running practice, but today we wanted to throw the ball a little more. There was good enthusiasm. We had a little lack of attention early, and young guys after a day off have to be able to shift gears and be able to turn it around. That's the reason you play spring ball.

It was a good practice. Guys are showing a lot of enthusiasm. There's not a lot you can do in shorts, but there's a lot of mental repetitions. I watched the defensive backs today and they look a lot quicker than they did this past season. There are a lot of new faces we're looking at with that position. There will be a lot of competition with those guys this spring. Tomorrow we'll start easing into contact. Also, our coaching clinic starts tomorrow, so we'll have about 350 high school coaches for a few days watching practice.

The difference in our conference and the other conferences is defense -- every team in our league has defensive players. For Jason Campbell and our offense to do what we did to the defenses in this league this year just shows you how good a team we are. We're a well-balanced team that hasn't taken a week off all year.
