(Foy) is a real pleasant kid. He's good to be around, never in any trouble and he has great character. |
(Garris) came in and, for what we ask him to do, he did a heck of a job. He doesn't get a lot of reps in practice. |
All we can do is put our best ones out there and see if we can slow them down and take them on at the line of scrimmage, ... The one worry you (have) as a coach is when you've got everybody in the box you can have and you still can't stop them; you're hands are tired. That's what hopefully doesn't happen. |
Both of us are hungry for a win. I think both teams will be hungry to get on the winning side. |
DeAndre did a nice job tonight. I knew we might lay it down some, so we had to make up for it with big plays. And we have the players to make those. |
He gives us a pass defender (at linebacker). He's made for that position. |
He has run some offense in practice. He just goes so hard on defense, it's hard to get much out of him both ways, |
He probably wants to run the ball a little bit, but he never questions what we do - just a very valuable asset to our team. |
He's just stuck through it, got his chance and now it's paying off for him. He's a portrait of a kid who just stuck with it. |
I credit that to our defensive staff. They made a great adjustment on about the 35-yard line, got us in a different front and got us lined up differently from what we were doing. Once we got lined up, we were OK. |
I don't think we can physically match them, so we're going to try and confuse them a little bit, |
I think if we can get a win, we can get the ball rolling a little bit. |
I think our kids realize that we've got to be a little more disciplined, a little more in control, in that situation. We can't tune down the emotion because, if we're not emotional, we don't have a shot. |
It's a balanced offense, ... It's not an offense you can just load up the box and throw it. They don't allow you to do that. |
It's going to have a big bearing on who gets the No. 1 seed out of the 3-A division, ... I think the winner of this game is in the driver's seat as far as that goes. |
