[ed note: some of the info. was the same from the call-in show yesterday and it was omitted]
Wes Durham:
Toe meets leather at 6:05 pm. Yellow Jacket Alley at 3:30. Arrive earlier than normal due to new entrance procedures into the stadium. For those of you who have not received the letter from the GTAA, refer to the signage around the stadium (or check ramblinwreck.com) to get to the proper gate. New turnstiles and security will slow things down initially; get there earlier.
Wear gold--whatever shade you may have or that you think is gold, wear it. Be a participant, not a spectator.
Also, preview show tomorrow @ 11 am on Fox 5 for those in the metro area; check listings for Fox Sports Net for those out of towners.
Coach Gailey:
Defense will have to carry us early on. Talent on offense is good, but it takes some time for a new QB, new tailback to "gel." More flexibility (ie. better depth) on defense for substitutions--Henderson, Holiday, Ather Brown will play a bunch. Tenuta's style--attack, attack and attack somemore. We will use multiple looks on blitzs, stunts, etc.; but without leaving the corners "on an island." Coach said that in order to see how that is done, you'll have to be in attendance.
Injury update: Jonanthan Smith is out (ankle sprain not fully healed). Ford is out. Gary Johnson is out.
Good news on injuries--Hester will play, Reggie Koon is back as well. [ed note: thank god the receiving corp. is deep]
As reported yesterday, expects Vandy to stick w/Johnson's style--option play and get their go to receiver, Stricker involved. Vandy has switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3 base defense. Vandy does not blitz much, except on 3rd down. Plays back more on 1st and 2nd down to make the offense earn yardage down the field as opposed to getting yardage on big play chunks.
Thanked the fans for a sellout. Players are PUMPED to be playing tomorrow night. On 3rd down, stand up and yell; wants home games to be "nasty" for our opponents. Does not want the opposing team's QB to be able to hear on 3rd down or communicate to his teammates.[ed note: those in the lower west can do their part here
]
Recruiting: Job is to bring in players that can win the conference and beat Ugag. Also wants to bring in kids that can graduate. Key job for the staff is evaluation; finding the kids who will continue to progress. Will be recruiting all over the country, emphasis on the South w/Texas as well.
GO JACKETS!!!
