It's not the end of the world, either. He's still gotta maintain and keep the position. |
It's tough. I love Josh like a son and it's hard to tell a guy that the other guy [got the job]. |
Judy requested a very private service for family only back in Indiana and I know our friends will understand and respect her decision. |
Kids don't care. Whoever can take them down the field and score and help them win ball games, that's who they will follow. In talking to one of our players, they said, 'Coach, this ain't no church league.' We're trying to win ball games, and whoever can get the job done and do the best job is who this team will follow. |
Maurice Drew is an excellent running back. |
Michael, just like any other student at WSU, utilized procedures in place and is currently ready to enroll for spring semester. He is eligible to participate in all football-related activities this spring once enrolled, including spring practice. Right now, we are focusing on his academic performance this spring and his progress toward a degree from WSU to ensure he is eligible in the fall. |
No one was willing to take a chance on him. I'm sure glad we did. |
Normally, we would have played another Division 1-A (team), hopefully ... someone in the middle of the of conference in the Big-12 or Big-10, and I think you would have a little better understanding of where your kids are. But I think we know what we need to work on. We know what our strengths are. |
Nothing against them, but we improved. It's our second game and their first. We made adjustments. If we had played each other on the first game, it would have been closer. |
Offensively, at quarterback, we've got Alex Brink and we're happy to have him back. Every position is always open, but Alex Brink is our guy. |
Our advantage is having a game under our belt. I think that is huge. |
Right now, they're leg-weary, both of them. The whole team is a little bit leg-weary. |
That really got us going. It was a tight game until the second quarter. What got us going was the interception for touchdown. |
That was good, and what was really good was to see him make one under pressure in overtime when we had to have it done. That's almost like a game-winning situation, but that's quite a lot of pressure for a kid. |
That's never happened here that I remember. |
