Head coach Joey Jones
-On Wednesday's practice: "I think there were some good things, but there were also some bad things; I didn't think that was one of our best practices as a team.  Now we had some great things happen individually, I thought some guys got better, but as a whole I didn't think we improved as much as I'd like.  We had some guys feeling sorry for themselves out there today."
-On his goals for the rest of the week: "This is really our final exam for the spring because we practice in shorts and shells next week before the spring game.  We have two more days to get better, we will be evaluating a lot of guys because the pecking order is very important.  We need to have great days the rest of the week."

Up next: Practice 3-5 p.m. Friday at the campus practice fields
