-on Joe Milton: His attention to detail is elite. He came back from that Clemson game even hungrier. It's a special mindset that the kid has and it's fun to be around.
-on the relationship between Joe Milton and Nico Iamaleava: It's like a big brother, little brother relationship. You rarely see Joe without Nico.
-It's rare to be in the building and not see Ramel Keyton on the juggs machine.
-on how different his job is now as OC: The biggest difference is the setup for the day. I have to make sure it makes sense for everybody and not just the quarterbacks. It's no longer me taking in info and applying.
-Joe Milton III's size and athleticism means the QB run game will be different from the Hendon Hooker era, but that Milton's size and athleticism allows him to design and call "a lot of fun stuff" in that way.
-on the confidence in Nico if he has to play early in the season: Huge confidence in him. That guy didn't come in like a true freshman. His calmness, his demeanor — I think the guys believe in him at a high level.
-on Bru McCoy: I feel like he's going to make a huge jump this season.
-on why Josh Heupel is so good: He doesn't stray from who he is and he also allows himself to think of new ways to do things. He's going to stay true to who he is, but he's going to make sure it makes sense for everybody.
-on Ramel Keyton: He can track a deep ball at a really high level. And he can run because of how long he strides.
-on the tight end room: You rarely see Jacob (Warren) without McCallan (Castles). He can run and it's fun to see that type of skill set in the offense when they just go play and not think. He's added about 15 pounds and looks great.
