He's intriguing to us because he's very athletic. But we were so thin in the offensive line and we wanted him to learn the elements of blocking before switching him, again. |
Hodge and a couple other guys are kind of in a holding pattern. I'm going to sit down and have a discussion with Elijah. I think he's been a little bit hampered by the groin injury. Now, you're getting in the season, you've got to kind of concentrate on the guys you're going to play. |
I feel pretty good about having an experienced guy like John back there. He's been through some battles before, and we'll need him to lead us through some more battles when we start our season. I'm counting on John to do some good things for us and get us prepared. |
I found out how our schedule evolved. And with a 12th game being approved, it was an eye-opening experience because basically it comes down to not a lot of people wanting to come to Camp Randall Stadium. |
I got on him a little bit because he got a bruise on the forearm and he wanted to sit out. That's the difference. You have to have durability in the Big Ten. |
I kind of like where he is. |
I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. He sees an edge, he'll take it in a short fashion. He's got great power. |
I like his strength, I like his gamesmanship. If he gets a shoulder on anyone it usually disrupts their path and that's not always the case at the running back position. So I like the power that he brings to the table. |
I like the way he composes himself on the field. They'll continue to make ground. |
I need to have daily improvement in everything we do and I basically felt throughout the entire spring that we did do that. |
I think Elijah was trying to show up a little bit for him, That's another thing you lied to me about in recruiting - you told me there were no tornadoes (in Iowa City). |
I want to be one that recruits harder than any head football coach in the country. I want to be involved on a daily basis in that capacity because I can make a difference. |
I would have never found two of our recruits if we didn't have those (scholarships) available at the end of the week. |
I would like to assemble a group of coaches that carry two common traits: great passion and great integrity. Kerry has great passion for the game, for recruiting, for his players and for people overall. |
I'll never forget opening up a fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant on the very day that Fry offered me the job, ... It said, 'Choose a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.' It's turned out to be true. |
