Am driving home

thanks again, Joel. Especially since everybody else refuses to broadcast anything.
He's going last
Which is where they’re picked every year anyway. Nice opening!

Having won 3 bowl games in a row
has enabled them to stack up some talent.

Q: Schedule
A: FL, they’re just the best returning team in the country. SEC East has been and continues to be the toughest division in the toughest conference.
They’ve changed some history at KY; they need to change more.

Q: Tebow?
A: How could I not vote for Tim Tebow? “I’m not the guy. Good luck in your search!”

Q: Tebow's NFL prospects.
A: He absolutely does have that kind of talent.
Having him under center, working on passing motion, but listen, he completes very high percentage, great leader, all the abilities, has made plays at highest level of college. How can that not translate to the NFL. THE best college football player who’s ever played the game.

Q: Last year's Hartline, what improvement this year?
A: Did a good job of managing the offense. Not a lot of negative plays; just not a lot of positive. He’ll feel more comfortable. He’ll have more experience around him. Understanding of offense will be greater; thus accuracy better, too.

Q: Skill positions on offense. What do you expect to see this year?
A: Started five freshman; Cobb will be WR mostly, but w/ a wildcat package. Several other good players with more experience.

Q: How important is patience from admin, window smaller now for coaches.
A: Patience level in society, much less college football, is much less than it has been. Been fortunate; every situation is different. Some decision maker had intelligence and guts to weather a storm. Now KY needs to compete for the SEC C.

Q: Randall Cobb
A: An exciting playmaker, w/ maturity and leadership. Can accelerate w/ ball in his hands. Can throw and run. Catch.

Q: John Connor, fullback
A: one of the best players at that position in the country. NFL prospect. Will probably touch the ball more this season, catching and running.

Q: On defense, harder to keep front seven there with the spread?
A: That offense takes you out of base defense. Four down and 3 LB, hard to keep them. Go to 2 and add nickel back. Dime if need be w/ one LB. Puts a strain on practice time to prepare for different offenses.FL’s successful b/c of Tebow’s ability as a runner.
