The following interview was taken by Kyle Tucker over at his blog.  He’s been following the preseason practices closely and his blog posts are almost enough to quench the ache and desire for the football season to start.

 QB TYROD TAYLOR
 
ON HOW PRACTICE IS GOING THROUGH THREE DAYS: “It’s going good, progressing like I wanted to be.”
 
ON THE QB BATTLE: “Like I told you from the beginning, I’m in competition with myself, actually. I’m out here to be the best quarterback I can be and the best player at my position. I’m competing hard and so is he. It’ll be up to the coaches.”
 
ON GLENNON’S DEEP BALL TO TIGHT END GREG BOONE WEDNESDAY: “We’re moving Greg Boone around. We know he’s very elusive, and he can make plays. You really get watch film to get a feel for it. (Opponents) are going to be surprised.”
 
ON THE RUNNING BACKS: “They’re looking very fast. We just have to wait and see who’ll go in front of the others.”
 
ON THE FRESHMEN RECEIVERS: “A lot of those guys have stepped up. They’ve shined as a group. They’ve been impressing a lot of people. I don’t think a lot of people thought they could learn that quick, but they’ve been in there working with the veterans.”
 
NAMING THE BEST FRESHMAN: “I can’t call it. I want to praise all those guys. Boykin looks good, just as Dyrell Roberts, Xavier Boyce and Marcus Davis. And Randall Dunn, too.”
 
ON THE LEADER AMONG THE VETERAN WIDEOUTS: “Danny Coale is looking very smooth. Ike is looking more confident, and so is Zach Luckett. We feel comfortable with our receivers. Those guys are showing the coaches they can play and that they want the ball in their hands.”
