Ah, that's OK RickI wasn't offended or anything



 My apologies, Jamie, I shouldn't have made light of your question. It's
 my understanding that Gilligan's back tightens up on him and hinders his
 throwing motion, but Shula said on Sunday he *could* have played against
 UK if needed. Now if Gilligan's back gets worse, then yes, we are
 officially SOL.

We are not SOL. We are now a running team. Yes, even with Ray-Ray gone, our
game plan (you listening to me Mike??) is to run the fruking ball.

All we need is a warm body to hand the ball off to the running backs.

Time for the O line to make a statement.

That is all.

[RollTideFan] Coach Mike Shula Press Conference

2004-10-12 Thread Rick Mc.

Coach Mike Shula Press Conference: Southern Miss
Tuesday, October 12, 2004
Transcript of Opening Comments and 1st Five Questions
Opening Comments:
First of all, Ray Hudson will undergo surgery today and he will be out 
for the remainder of the season, Ken Darby will start in his place. 
Spencer Pennington will start at quarterback.  Keith Brown, hopefully, 
will be back this week; well see how he does in practice.  He looked 
good Sunday, when we had our light workout.  Our team is a little beat 
up right now, but the focus is good.  Everyone feels a lot more 
confident after getting a win.  We realize we have a tough Southern Miss 
team coming in here.  Theyre tough every year; this is probably the 
best Southern Miss team Alabamas faced in a while. Its a better team 
than last year, theyre undefeated, ranked 25th, play solid defense give 
you a lot of looks offensively, even though their starting quarterback 
is out, Damian Carter came in, won the game for them in overtime.  Hes 
got more experience now and looked very good doing it in overtime.  Hes 
very athletic, runs the option, they do a lot of things offensively and 
special teams, theyve always been known for their special teams with 
their coverages, their returns, theyve got one of the best returners in 
the country, one of the fastest in Eubanks, so they bring a lot to the 
table and their well-coached, Coach Bowers as done a great job and 
theyre very deserving of their 25th ranking, or 24th I guess, in some 
polls.

Mike, with Spencer (Pennington), should we consider this a deal where he 
won the job on the field or is it an injury thing and the other guy gets 
better and he comes back.

Spencers our starting quarterback this week.  And weve got to get 
Marc (Guillon) back healthy; hes not 100% yet either.  He seems to be 
feeling better so far than he did at any point last week, towards the 
end of last week.

How much do you go back and look and last years game plan to get ready 
for this game with Southern Miss?

We do that a lot for the teams we play each year and just compare how 
they played us, compared to how theyre playing this year and later on 
after we played them last year.  Obviously the personnel is different in 
some areas and then last year because of their quarterback starting as a 
freshman last year and now the changes theyve done theyve had with 
this year with the other guy, Almond, and now theyre going back to 
Carter.  But theyve got good personnel, theyve lost a couple guys that 
were good players on defense and other guys have stepped up.  Boley is 
one of the better linebackers well see all year and very physical and 
athletic, gets to the football and makes a lot of plays.  Defensively 
theyve had a lot of turnovers; I think theyve got nine interceptions 
in four games so I think theyre very opportunistic that way.

Mike, I think theres a feeling among fans who are looking at the 
schedule that this game is really the season if youre going to go to a 
bowl game.  Do you encourage that kind of talk with your players or do 
you deflect it away from them?

We treat this game like all the others weve talked about, just 
focusing on one week.  I think theres a little more incentive because 
Southern Miss is, we know theyre a good football team; theyre a lot 
better Southern Miss team than we played last year and they were good 
last year.  Theyve only lost one game since we played them last year 
and that was the bowl game.  Homecoming too, I think our guys take a lot 
of pride and want to play well at home on Homecoming weekend.

Coach, kind of a two-parter, can you talk about what Ken (Darby) does 
well and how hes impressed you and how tough it is, what a challenge it 
is for this team to have to replace yet another, one of your offensive 
leaders.

I think Ken, in a lot of ways, similar to Ray (Hudson), you know Ray 
kind of waited patiently for his opportunity, he played last year and 
contributed and helped us win some games last year and all of a sudden 
had his opportunity to start and got a lot more carries and flourished 
really, for the first half of the season.  I kind of think Ken Darby can 
be the same type of, could have that same type of productivity.  Hes 
kind of waiting his turn, hes showing signs of elusiveness, speed, 
toughness, quickness and now hes going to have a greater opportunity.

As far as our team dealing with injuries, I think our guys have done a 
great job that way.  Just focused in on each guy doing their job a 
little bit better, havent really made a big deal of it.  Were getting 
better depth in positions, even though were young in some areas, weve 
had some injuries at certain positions where weve been fortunate enough 
to have probably as good of depth on the team and thats at running back 
and at times linebackers with Juwan (Garth) being out.  Its just a 
matter for our guys of focusing in on their own responsibility and not 
letting a
