This is the most unique year I've ever been through, |
This was sort of the story of our season - down the stretch we didn't get it done. I thought we had opportunities but credit Tulsa, they made the plays when they had to and we didn't when we were in position. |
Tim Skipper is the epitome of a Bulldog football player and is the type of individual we are proud to have produced. He was obviously a very good football player to start for four seasons. As a student, he was excellent. He was a leader on the field and in the locker room. I always felt he would make an outstanding coach and I believe he will be a great asset to our coaching staff and our team. |
To be at a program for nearly a decade is very rare for any coach these days. I hope this shows how much I love the community. We have goals to accomplish and I'm working on making the grass greener at Fresno State. |
Toledo has been in this offense now for five years so I think they are a little more efficient, |
Until Nov. 19, it went very well. At the end, it didn't go very well. We had a very, very good season going and we didn't finish the way we wanted to. But I'm not going to take anything away from this football team. We played at a very high level in many games this year, and it was never from lack of effort. |
We adjust to what the defense dictates. We like to run. We had the short field against Toledo and didn't throw it much. |
We are still at the main table. We were all in. We picked up all their chips, and now we've got a bigger pile -- and next week we'll go all in again. |
We are thrilled to play in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, ... This is going to be a great experience for our team and our fans to participate in such a historic bowl game. |

We are very happy to have Tim and Derek back in our program. They are two outstanding young coaches who know what Bulldog football is all about. They are committed to the program and I'm very pleased to have them back on our campus. With their personality, communication skills and attention to detail, I expect they will be excellent recruiters and coaches. |
We are very proud of the academic progress we've made. I feel our program is as competitive both academically and athletically as any in the nation. We have gone to seven straight bowl games and our APR score ranks in the top 10 in the nation. That's a great accomplishment by our team and our staff. |
We couldn't pass up an opportunity to play a program like LSU. They have so much history and tradition and respect in the SEC, and as a program won a national title a couple years ago and finished fifth last season. They have been one of the premiere programs in all of college football of this decade. We are looking forward to the trip to Death Valley, where it is difficult to win. We are looking forward to that challenge. |
We don't talk much about the opponent, ... We just get ready for each game the same ways each week whether we're playing an undefeated team or a winless team. They've always got our respect. |
