He was pleased with both the offense and defense. He said the special teams played a very little roll in this game.
He was asked who on the team is likely to become a coach. The answer was Covey. He said Covey is always coming to him with new play ideas.
He keeps raving about Huntley and saying is one of the best in the country. He said that Tyler is always studying film and data on the opposing defense.
He can’t say enough good about Scalley and Ludwig for that matter.
Although we played very well on Saturday, there were mistakes the team made that need to be corrected. He did not elaborate on the mistakes, but I assume that he was not pleased with UCLA’s third-down conversions, especially in the first half.
He indicated that the team is generally healthy.
He said 7 or 8 of his defensive players may be playing in the NFL next season. That’s just crazy if true. (John Pease was on later and said he doubted that number because even Alabama doesn’t do that. When Bill started going through each player, he admitted that it was indeed possible.)
