Gillislee, No. 10 Florida Break Football Streak, 14-6
Les Miles, LSU Head Coach
Opening statement:
“I have to give credit to the Florida Gators, they played awfully hard today. Congratulations
to Will Muschamp. I thought they did a good job, a really good job. As for our football team, I
thought we had a good effort, we fought like hell. The opportunities we had – if we had kept
possession on the reception in the second half – certainly could have made a difference in
the game. With that being said, we will make corrections and understand where we are at. I
think our football team is sick, sick with knowledge that they could have played better.”
On fixing the offense:
“Well, we probably throw it better than we showed and we certainly run it better than we
showed it – we need to execute. We lost (Michael) Ford for the second series and put a guy in
there that hasn’t taken as many reps and that’s not really the reason, because I think we
played pretty well. How do we fix it? We go back and work hard at it. We talked about the
things we always have, it’s not like it’s brand new. We have to go back and work hard and
get better.”
On LSU linebacker Kevin Minter:
“I think Kevin played his butt off. He has given us great leadership and he is the captain of our
team. He is exactly what you would want from a college football player.”
On Florida being more physical on the line of scrimmage this year:
“I don’t know, I will have to check the film, but I thought they were a physical group last year.
I think they had a concerted effort to run the football today and it certainly made a
difference.”
On worrying about the Tiger offense:
“I think we understand the things we didn’t do. They are very definable; it’s exactly how we
have been coaching it. We just made mistakes.”
On Florida senior running back Mike Gillislee:
“I think he is a really quality player. I watched him run hard before we played him and
realized that he was that kind of guy. He carried the ball 34 times and again, that was well
done.”
On Florida sophomore punter Kyle Christy:
“He sure did affect the field position. We were always coming off our own goal line, it
appeared, for most of the game.”
