Quotations

«In the second half, we regrouped and our intensity took over. You can only stay 3 to 4 feet off the ground so long. They were sky high.»

«It's very vital with the 85-scholarship limit that you do have walk-ons that participate on your special teams because they are so important. That's an area where they can come out and contribute. There's not a team in this conference that doesn't have walk-ons that participate that make a difference during the season. I think that's what's great about football.»

«Ronnie and Carnell, they're our two workhorses. We'll try to get [all four] in the game, but if Ronnie and Carnell stay healthy, it's going to be tough.»

«I would hope that?[Walker and Housel]?learned from it, because that is something you don't ever want to put coaches, families and all the players through. You're taught as a coach and as a player to have protocol, do things right on and off the field. And all of a sudden you got somebody that goes behind your back. It doesn't set a very good precedent for young people. Obviously, it didn't work in their favor too well. They're no longer in their situations as they were. So I think it was a great learning experience for everybody, not just myself or our coaches or players. But the administrations -- they have to be accountable, too.»

«The problem we had last year was people ganged up on our running game. We've already got a good running game, a good play-action passing game. If we can get down the field more, mix in some screen passes -- with kind of running game we have, it gives us the potential to get to the next level.»

«You've got to have a mobile quarterback against a front like theirs. When they blitz up the middle on 4th and 12, Jason has the presence to get outside and throw sidearm to get the first down. A young guy wouldn't know to do that.»

«They all have been consistent. Devin's probably had the best year of all of them by productivity, but not by work ethic. It's hard to zero in on one receiver that we have. You have to cover them all, and it's impossible to do. We're going to miss all these receivers.»

«Coach Price's defense won again. Coach Knox was struggling to get any movement at the line of scrimmage and didn't get any points on the board.»

«We got the game plan in. All we are doing is polishing it and working on special teams. We had a little scrimmage with the underclassmen and it was a good day. We'll give them a few more plays tomorrow. It was a good day, a good practice, but it was a little wet.»

«We didn't control the ball on the ground. We weren't as physical as we needed to be running the ball. You have to throw the football when they put nine guys on the line of scrimmage and we didn't get the job done.»
