Darrell Blackman Quotations

I felt like I let the team down. I feel like I made a game-changing mistake by making that fair catch.

We just went back and practiced after the Virginia Tech game and worked on some of the mistakes that we made in running our inside zones and stuff like that. Cleaned up a little blocking and stuff that we might have messed up in the first game.

The spring is going pretty good. We see a lot of improvements with the offensive line, and we know we've got the ability to go out and make a lot of big plays. The coaches are like a little bit more intense this spring.

There's a lot less pounding. I'll take my chances against 185-pound defensive backs.

It's just a decision that the coaches come up with, I mean it's the coaches' decision who gets the starting nod and who they want to put in there. They feel as though they want to get a chance and just make something happen.

It wasn't a total surprise. He kind of put it out there as an option (to) see how I liked it out there. That's how it started, and now I am there, permanently.
