On practicing in the heat and going indoors from time to time … 
“They let us inside yesterday. We had a really good practice yesterday — very fast practice. Today was not that bad as far as the weather, so we went outside.” 
 
On starting school this week and preparing for the season … 
“I am excited. Personally, I am really excited. I am glad everyone is here, glad to get out of the hotel and get used to everything — getting used to school, to the new practice schedule and those kinds of things.” 
 
On what advice he gives to freshmen on balancing their schedules … 
“I tell them to just enjoy class and go to your classes and don’t let it clutter you up. When it is time for football, it is time for football, but when it is time for school, just focus on school. Don’t try to do too much at once because then you will just mess up everywhere.” 
 
On if the energy of practice changes when school is back in session … 
“Sometimes it’s harder for the young guys to adjust because they have gone through the whole day of class and now they have to come to practice. So, it is kind of hard for them to switch their brains over to football. Sometimes they are tired, so it’s going to be a little tough for those guys, but for the guys who have been here it is really easy.” 
 
On the secondary … 
“I feel a lot better about if one guy goes down we have someone to plug in. Anyone can really play anywhere on that field. It’s not only depth, but we have people who know what to do, even the freshmen.”
