YOU HEARD IT FROM THE HOTSHOTS:

Coach Rick Neuheisel on joint practice with with Orlando team tomorrow: "More of the same. Great effort, great technique work. A fundamental understanding of what we're trying to get done schematically on both sides of the ball. We all know there's going to be a competitive fervor in the air. It's just the nature of the beast in this game. But Coach (Steve) Spurrier and I are close friends and we'll get the tempo we want. You've been running the same things against one another, and also it gives you some idea of how to set things up against other people. It's just a much more realistic look for us as evaluators as well."

WR Corey Willis on being surprised by his coach and teammates for honoring that he became a dad: "I was definitely surprised. It's my first child so I haven't experienced the family with the football team. I'm surprised but I expected it. Ever since Day 1 Coach Neuheisel has made it just a big family."
