He's the carburetor (for the offense). There's some awfully good quarterbacks in this league, But Dusty is right in there with the best of them. We think he gives us a chance to win every game. |
I think we did a bad job. We thought we had a free play (on first-and-5). We should have hammered it right at them. That screen was good for us last week. It wasn't as good today. |
I wasn't nervous last week, but this week I am. We're playing a better team. They had the best talent I saw, by far, last year. We're going to be a little short-handed. One or two starters will be missing for personal reasons. But the guys taking their place might be just as good. |
Illinois State has done a great job at recruiting players, and the players are excited to stay in this community to play professionally. We're lucky to have two top-notch universities in this community. |
It will be our stud (Taylor) on their stud (Harvey). |
It's a darn shame to lose that game. I don't know exactly what happened. We're not very tall back there (in the secondary) and it hurt us. But it was not one play. A lot of plays probably cost us the game. |
It's going to be tough. I worry about that. I really do. I hope we don't make the wrong (decisions). |
No one has been able to block him in this league for a year and a game. |
Quarterbacks don't have to have a gun. Everything you do is a touch pass. We looked for that as well as a leader. We wanted an experienced guy and we got two of them. |
They just totally whipped us. We tried everything. I think they intimidated us. |
They whipped us in every phase of the game the second half. This is the best team in the league, and I wanted to evaluate us against these people. I thought at halftime we were right there with them. By the end of the season, I would like to play these guys again in the playoffs and see where we stand. |
They've played a good schedule. They lost to Fort Wayne by 5 at Fort Wayne in a darn good football game. You know their good if they can do that. |
We started out very well. I thought we were going to have a good night. |
We went with physical, fast people who are all good hitters. They will all put the helmet on them. |
We will meet tomorrow night as a staff and maybe then we'll say 'this guy is No. 1, this guy is No. 2' (at a particular position). |
