There's always been talent in South Florida, it just didn't stay here.
confidence encouraged frank fun knees major playing reason unless year
I've really been encouraged with Frank and what he's done. He's having a lot of fun and playing with a lot of confidence. I really see more confidence in his knees now than I did a year ago. From what I've seen, unless there's a major setback, I don't see any reason why he wouldn't play.
gets hot spirited
It was a little spirited today. It gets hot and tempers flare a little bit.
body covering good great guy pleasantly smaller surprised switching
I've been pleasantly surprised with him. He's done a great job. I thought he could be a good player, but the way he handles his body ... he's a big guy and he's out there switching his hips, being able to maneuver, covering smaller receivers. I've been very impressed.
It would have been a storybook drive. But you have to finish.

The running backs did a nice job with pass protection and running the ball.

Santa delivered a huge package under the tree and we may expand his package a little bit.

Our expectations are high, but overall people may look at us as an underdog this year. I don't mind it at all. If that's the case, it will cause us to play with a little bit of an attitude, and that's OK, too.

We didn't need to force the ball. We had timeouts left and probably could have thrown something underneath.
line maintain
We didn't maintain the line of scrimmage. And we didn't tackle.
