For us, the I-A games are strictly monetary situations all the way. Whatever we schedule, we go. The bottom line is for finances. |
He's also had a lot of success with special teams particularly last fall where his units accounted for six touchdowns. Justin grew up in a coaching family so he's been around the profession for quite awhile. He just brings a lot of positive attributes to our staff. |
He's what the game is all about. He's a 100 mile an hour guy all the time. |
I believe we have to run the football. It was a grave disappointment last week. |
I think we lost to a superior football team. There's no question about that. We knew that coming in. The thing we couldn't afford to do, we did. We gave them 17 points off of turnovers. Those are things you have to eliminate against a team that is superior to you. I was a little disappointed in that aspect of it. |
It's the only way to truly assess what a guy has. |
It's too bad he was ineligible last year and it'll be too bad if he's ineligible next year but he's putting his work in. He's a tough guy who relishes the competition and the hitting part of the game. |
Mike is our No. 1 coming out of the spring. He accepted a challenge like a man. He commanded the respect of the players. |
No, there isn't. The backup is the freshman and that just wouldn't be right. He's not ready yet. Mike played well against Indiana State and he has to perform up to that potential. |
Oh, I don't know. There's a long way to go. Everybody has a chance. I couldn't even give you a close pick on that. |
One of the prime characteristics we were looking for in this position was enthusiasm and Justin met that qualification by exhibiting a high level of energy throughout the interview process. |
Players bounce back quickly. It's a new season. They understand that. We had a good practice (Tuesday). That whole offense has to start playing up to their abilities. They have to show more heart. |
That concerns me. They did a nice job against Furman. Even though they lost those two all-conference players, they replaced them. Their quarterback, he's an outstanding competitor. They have the capability of scoring points. |
That's a real deficiency when only two of five guys are grading out. |
The best way to keep their offense off the field is to get our offense going. I believe we have to run the football. |
