You've got to give him at least a couple of years, you know, you got to give him at least that. But I think that he'll, I think he'll definitely, I think he'll definitely do a good job.

You could tell by what he did all spring. He came over on his own, watched every practice, sat in on almost every meeting he could, was here every day in the summertime. And then his intent is so strong to try to be a player. He's a guy that you can count on, and that's a big thing.

He threatens you in a lot of ways, and he also threatens you in the way he competes. That's the thing we have to emphasize to our team. Don't think at any moment that this guy is done. If he was 6-foot-1, they'd be talking about him as a Heisman candidate.

He's worked very hard. That's what I've asked him to do. His dream is to go on to pro football. He's learned. It's a process. We want him to be a very consistent back, in pass protection as well as running the football and staying healthy. I'd like to believe the process is in place and that he's going to continue to develop as the year goes on.

I don't know how much I'll be looking across at him. I think I'll be looking across at their players more than I will him. But Bobby Bowden is obviously a great football coach. He's won a lot of football games.

He's still banged up and he's not ready to practice.

He's still sore, ... He worked out yesterday and caught some balls on his own going out there with buddies. It's iffy.

I question myself trying to get two quarterbacks ready. They're two different style quarterbacks. It's trying to run two offenses.

I'll tell you what. I keep mentioning Bruce Williams. This guy's like clockwork. He's really making an impression on me.
