Head Coach Kirby Smart
Opening Statement…
“Our guys have had three good days of prep; we continue to work. Got started with a lot of them on Sunday, a lot of them came in to watch tape, we really got a head start there. Monday and Tuesday have been good practices. The hope is to get the same kind of energy and enthusiasm today to prepare a really good football team, one of the hottest football teams there are in terms of scoring points. They have done a tremendous job on offense with scoring a lot of points, they are really fast. It has just been tough preparation to prepare for these guys offensively and defensively. They do a tremendous job playing with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, you can tell.”
On Jamaree Salyer…
“Yeah, the ground game is important. The passing game is important. The play-action game is important. The screen game is important. They are all important. So, we have to do a tremendous job in all facets of it. It is one of those deals in that a little bit of it is dictated by how they play you defensively. If teams continue to play tight techniques, tight fronts, put people in the box… I mean there is a lot that goes into the ability to run the ball. That is a big part of what we do that sets up other things. As far as Jamaree goes, like I said yesterday, he has gotten better. He has been able to do some weight bearing things. He did that all in walk-throughs, all the practice stuff, conditioning as well, we are hopeful. But we won’t know more until after practice today.”
