koetter's corner interview. >> i think it's tough on any player, especially a running back that has been out that long to come back and be the same old doug martin as you say. i think we are asking too much. i think his role will continue to go up and up and up as he gets his legs back under him. >> when urban meyer was asked if he would pay attention to the college playoff rankings, he said i will be michigan state but the buckeyes are expected to cozy up right behind number one alabama following a crazy saturday where three of the top four teams in the rankings all lost. it was wacky. and butch davis, once again a head coach. cleveland browns and north carolina coach, put in charge of a struggling florida international program today. davis of course was a consultant on the bucs staff in he is very popular down in south florida. we will see what he does with that program.>> anything can happen. >> i watched all three of those upsets and it was a tremendous -- it was tremendous tv. of course, none of those are we alma mater. >>> thousands of our viewers reunited with cash they didn'

dirk koetter who just spoke a couple minutes ago said jameis we'll see as the week starts and they get ready for the bears. this moment was very cool bucs fans could be proud of. former bucs safety john lynch inducted into the people's ring of honor. lynch was joined by more than 70 bucs alumni and family, quite an honor for a guy that one day may be in the hall of fame. >> stuck to what my parents taught me as a kid, just outworking your competition and could eventually change it here and we did that. when they took that banner off and my name was up there next to derrick brooks and warren sapp and doug williams and paul gruber and lee roy selmon and john mckay, that's just incredible. >> reporter: now the current bucs roster is hard to find a guy that one day might be in this ring of honor. bucs are 0-4 at home. coming up later including that jameis winston injury. back to you. >> i was thinking to myself what kind of highlight could dan possibly show us tonight and it was john lynch. that is the highlight of this night for sure. >> dan lucas live at raymond james stadium, thank you,

head coach dirk koetter echoed that sentiment in our exclusive koetter's korner today. >> if precision was simple, a lot of guys would be doing it, but there's no question we definitely need to be more precise in our pass game. it doesn't matter what the reasons are, but we've got to do better. >> cameras caught a rare monday night blitz as the end of an era took place tonight in the bay area. this is the last year that high school football districts will stage one quarter tiebreakers to determine district champions in the event three teams are tied. they're going to a point system next year. a couple of these tiebreakers took place in the bay area tonight. lakeland waited to see winter haven defeat kathleen 7-0 before they took on the blue this is how you know it's your night. the quarterback get away with a tipped pass instead of an interception. it's right in the hands of his receiver, willy baker. hodgekiss seals the deal with a quarterback sneak. lakeland wins the district. another tiebreaker saw mitchell defeat spring stead. >>> tomorrow night the lightning in their six game road

k koetter enjoyed discussing the performance on sunday a little bit more. great defense and great quarterback play ston. 70% completion percentage and the most dynamic play of the year. an argument could be made this was the best performance yet this season, and koetter certainly thinks so. >> he had a heck of a game. we didn't have much going in the run game. they were doubling mike, and we were down three starters in the o line. so we needed jameis to play big yesterday, and he did. jameis showed all sides of his toughness and arm strength. he showed his ability to read defense, that first touchdown to cam. he showed his ability to see the field, the touchdown to freddie march tyne notice that wasn't where that ball should have gone at all. he saw freddie behind the safety informant corner on the back stooid there. that was a great unscripted play by jameis. >> one last bucs note. bucs o lineman evan smith could miss up to three weeks, sprain. >>> singer was named a rookie of the year. we end this night on a strange note. this is a world baseball classic

dirk koetter thinks there's an outside chance martin might make it back for the bears. he can't count on martin yet. >> no information for you guys. i'm sorry. we'll have an injury report on wednesday like we're required to. >> the bucs are still unsure who will be in the backfield come sunday against the bears. they already have gone through four feature backs this season, but the one positive are the guys up front who have been opening holes for whoever >> i think the offensive line has done a good job. we can definitely play better. we used this little mini bye-week to do a lot of work studying ourselves. we definitely can play better. >> it's not only injuries to running backs that slow down the progress. they have key injuries all over their roster, which is exposing the real problem. a lack of quality depth. kevin o'donnell, fox 13 sports. >> we have good news. jameis winston and mike were back on the practice field today. >> thank you so much. before we go, thanksgiving is not quite here, but already disney kicked off the official holiday season. >> never too ear
