I'm not disappointed. I'm upbeat. I think we had some defensive lapses. I think Thaddeus (Young) got too unselfish. He tried to get people the ball, but those people got the ball and missed.

Tired is not a question. We had (defensive) lapses.

We're not good enough to have defensive lapses. Normally, when we score 59 points, that's enough. Offensively, we're doing some good things, but defensively it looks like a circus sometimes.

I don't think so. If you're a defensive coordinator and they want you, they're not going to give you permission to go somewhere else. ... So I'm pretty sure that means they're letting you go be a D coordinator elsewhere because they've got other plans here.

I think he's a lot more ready offensively than he was, but I still get on him about defensive lapses. There's a little bit Riverboat Gambler, which makes him effective offensively so you don't want to squash that too much. But you try to make him understand how the scoreboard works and the clock and how you have to make smart plays.

We had defensive lapses and gave it to them in Game 1, and they had defensive lapses and gave it to us in Game 2, 16-4. But we both just had an excellent game (Sunday). They (Auburn) shouldn't feel bad, they're a great team. We just happened to be ahead after nine innings.
