Joe Hudak Alabama Quotations

McDonald threw a great ball game. He's gotten better every single time out. His first start was down at Alabama and he struggled with his command. Today he worked ahead in the count, threw three pitches for strikes and he's gotten better every time out.

I think we are certainly not intimidated coming in here or going to Miami or going to Alabama or wherever we have gone. The only place we haven't played well is at Florida State, but outside of that we have always played well against big clubs in front of large crowds.

You look at our schedule. We won two out of three at Miami. We won two out of three at Alabama and we've won every other game we've played. As a coach, you can't ask for anything more than that. When you look at our schedule ... if anybody thought or expected we'd be better than (11-2) right now, I'd thought they were crazy. If I'd expected that I'd been crazy. It would have been very unrealistic of us. So I'm very pleased with where we're at.

They're very sound fundamentally. They'll be a very, very good club. If we think because we beat Alabama and Alabama beat them that we're going to win that series then we're going to be in for a long weekend.
