      <title>Dec. 14 - Media Luncheon - Head Coach Dennis Franchione</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Head Coach Dennis Franchione meets with the media on December 14, 2006 to discuss the upcoming match-up against Cal in the Holiday Bowl.

He talks about moving Jamie McCoy to receiver, Jerrod Johnson playing basketball and the possibility of "asking Billy to tank the season" to get Johnson to all of spring practice. Fran discusses the offensive philosophy and being labeled an "option team."

He answers questions about the Texas victory and touches on what it has done to revitalize recruiting.  He talks about the impact of the Goodson and Lane on the total team.  Fran calls Chris Alexander an "unsung hero" in the team and notes his key blocks in the Texas game and his ability to get open. 

He talks about having experience on defense going into next year and where it can still go. He discusses the challenges Cal will give the Aggies and the scout team's impact on victories, in particular Ben Bittner. 

Fran talks about the defensive improvement and the process of hiring Gary Darnell last year. He also mentions that moving McCoy has allowed them to try Kenny Brown at safety and that he had impressed them in with an interception in Wednesday's practice.  He says the bowl experience allows the team to draw even closer.]]></description>
