That was the major turning point in the game, when they mishandled the punt and we took it right in and scored. That was essentially the play that put the game away. |
That's the toughest loss I've ever been a part of, as a player or coach. |
The feeling hasn't been different, but the routine has. It's such a departure from what I was used to as defensive coordinator. It's definitely different, ... But as far as the anxiety and the stress level, it doesn't feel different to me at all. |

There's nothing better on defense than a shut-down corner that you can put on their best guy. That is the most valuable thing you can have. |
This is an entirely different group of players, we have a new coaching staff and there are a lot of things going on in this program that will take time to come to fruition. Are we where we need to be right now? Absolutely not. But I feel good about the potential of this football team. |
This team has prepared well all season long. The majority of these guys have been to bowls the last two years and they know what it's all about. The young guys are learning from the older guys. We've had great preparation. |
Thomas and Ryan decided to go in a different direction. We appreciate the contribution they made to the team while they were here and we wish them well. |
Today is like a Wednesday-type practice. We got a lot of work done. It was a fairly clean practice. It was a good work day. |
We couldn't put 'em away, ... That's going to be something we need to address. It's happened, it's shown up consistently now, but we need to be able to take a game and put it away when we have the opportunity. Sign of a young defense, I'm telling you right now. We've got seven new starters. That is a tell-tale sign of a young defense. But Game 4 now, we should be starting to grow up a little bit. |
We explored a whole lot of different avenues and decided NAU was the best available to us. |
We feel Northern Arizona is a quality I-AA team. And that was the best scenario for us. |
We had so many guys make plays today it was unbelievable. |
We had so many guys making plays today, it was unbelievable. (Georgia Tech) was a quality football team, and not only did we beat them, we dominated them. |
We have a lot of guys who have not been in that situation, and I'm just anxious to see how they react. |
