(Former Iowa coach) Hayden Fry said (in spring games) he never wanted his ones to get beat. I want to see how our ones on offense do against our ones on defense. I think that will make a more competitive game. |
Alex has made a real statement this spring and this past winter that that's the job he would like to have, that's the job he plans to have. Alex does recognize there is going to be a lot of competition, but that's the way it is for any top-notch program. |
Alex just goes about his business. He's just a very solid football player. |
As we spent time trying to play catch up, it was even harder trying to establish the run. We still had some plays that we thought we could be effective in running and we were disappointed that they didn't work better. |
Coronado made their shots and Summit didn't. When you get to this stage, you have to be ready to play. As long as we move the ball and play good defense, we'll do fine. |
He has been steadfast in this, and I know he's gonna do a great job because he's always done a great job. |
I like the attitude of this team. They don't like what's happened the last two years. They're hungry. |
I think a change of scenery will be good for us. We've had disappointment the last two weeks at home. It'll be something different (from) the routine we've had lately. |
I think it will be a lot different than recent years. Last season, about at the midway point, I could see the lights go on in a lot of players. They understood the defensive schemes we wanted to use. Now, with this spring practice, they aren't going to have to learn anything new. |
I think Marco is poised to have a big season. |
I think our fans have a lot to do with it. We have our bench area on the east side over there to identify with the student body. I'm sure the travel aspect is a little bit of an issue. |
I think there is a need and I don't think there would be an easy way to recoup any money. |
I think they underestimated his speed a little bit tonight. We try to get the ball into our playmakers hands and he's one of them. |
I was hoping this scoring system would make for a competitive day. Based on (Saturday's) score, I'd say it's a pretty fair system. |
I would have to say I was more pleased with the defense today. They did a great job of not staying blocked very long, of flying around and making plays. On the offensive side of things, we ran the ball very well in long yardage situations. |
