He told me he wants to be able to focus on the season ahead. I think that speaks a lot about the player he is. He really cares about things and pours himself into it. He wants to be around a winning team. |
He's a very versatile player, but he's just so fast. He's just special, and you can't imagine how valuable his speed is going to be for him. |
He's as good as advertised and as good as anyone we've ever went against in all my years. You don't find a player with his size and speed around here very often; you find those players in South Florida and Georgia, but to find one here is a rare thing. |
I certainly think our kids are think good things are going to happen when they go out on the field every game. If there is a (mental) advantage, I'm glad we have it. |
I think what we do best right now is play defense. They're going to get some yards. They're too talented. We just can't let them get runs of 70 and 80 yards. |
If somebody would have called and asked my opinion, I would have said, 'Let him play. |
It was kind of a funny game because of the way we were able to score. The only negative we took out of the game is that we didn't get many offensive plays. |
That first play of the game gave us a lot of confidence. We just kind of went from there. |
They're a very athletic team. (Running backs) Brad Walker and Ronald Osborne are two very explosive threats, and they have a real good quarterback in Lucas Wall. |
They've already beaten two of the best teams in that region. They probably can't get any more confident than they are right now. |
We'll know a whole lot more about our team after this game. We have to run the ball to be successful. We're not a team right now -- and maybe we will be later -- that can throw the ball 25 to 30 times and expect to win. |
