It shows lack of discipline, laziness. It really bothers me. It's been going on all season. It's got to stop. |
It's a different game nowadays. |
It's a little give-and-take. They are really athletic but they lack experience. They are gonna make mistakes. |
Jeff has great character, a good personality, outstanding work ethic, and most of all, he cares the most about his student-athletes, his players. This, in my estimation, makes up a great, young coach. Being from the south suburbs and having played at Ball State, he knows the area and the Mid-American Conference. To me, it's a great match for us. |
Josh has hit the freshman wall after starting out really good in practice. |
Like having your first baby, right. He's like an expectant father. |
Linebackers today need to play like safeties, to drop back on coverage as well as come forward against the run. We've seen John enough times to know he's capable of that. The kid can run. He should be able to get up from 200 pounds to 215 without sacrificing his speed. |
Losing (Wolfe), you're going down a step, but Adrian is someone who's played some in the past and he's a good player. He's not Garrett Wolfe, but not too many people are. Certainly I'd like to have Garrett and A.J. in there but if we don't, we move on. They're talented and they'll do a good job. |
Marquis is a good, young coach with a great future. I'm sure he will do a wonderful job at Miami. Not to brag, but our wide receiving corps blocked pretty well and that's key in our running game. Marcus motivated our kids to do something they didn't want to do. Blocking is dirty work. Marcus got them to excel at blocking and that's good coaching. |
Michael is so big and so strong, he's a guy that's fast when he gets going. He's fast in the second 50 yards. He can learn pass blocking and he's big enough to protect the pocket passer. He belongs among the best seniors or draft-eligible players in the country. |
Our biggest question mark might be our interior offensive line. We also have to get the linebackers sorted out. Decide who will step in at wide receiver, and the quarterback situation will work itself out. In my opinion, we have two really good ones (senior Phil Horvath and sophomore Dan Nicholson) who could both be considered starters. |
Our earliest ever. We don't beat the Big Ten schools very often. Hardly at all, if they want a kid. |
Our offense will be the strongest part of our football team. That group will most likely dictate how we do this year. Garrett and A.J. will take a lot of the pressure off our quarterback, which will be great. Those two will make it easy. Our quarterback won't have to be a Heisman candidate ? he just has to lead the team. |
People all around them are saying, 'It's just Tennessee Tech.' That can make you soft. |
Phil's been doing a great job of getting the ball to the right guy this season. He's playing within himself, not trying to do too much. I'm real pleased with what he's been able to do so far. |
