[Davis] was good on the court; she was herself, ... But off the court, she was quiet. We chatted about it, and I had no idea she had so much family in New Orleans. It's been tough. |
Guys are saying, 'Hey, we're willing to give anything a try. And Coach Willingham is exactly what we needed. He has provided a calming hand. |
Guys are sore. It's very, very demanding. But he's really challenging us to play through it. |
He adds toughness and physical play, but the most important thing is that he can skate. |
He came out and said 'I just can't thank you guys enough for what you're doing. This would have taken my wife and I months to do,' |
He talked to us about that game and how that really springboarded their season. This could be the same type of game against a team like Cal that is ranked in the Top 20. This could really do that, give a lot of momentum and confidence to a team that is really searching for something, a spark to really ignite us and get us going. |
He's a load, man. He's not the biggest guy, but he runs really hard and he's tough to tackle. He has great balance and really great lower-body strength. You're not going to get him down just by pulling on him. I thought ... he was definitely harder to tackle than J.J. Arrington was. |
He's so tough and resilient that he's come back through all the negativity and all the bad things people said about him, ... 'Put him at wide receiver and do this and do that.' He just always stuck by the idea of playing at quarterback. It's been his dream and his goal that he could play quarterback here. |
I think they were pleased to have the opportunity to tell their story to a jury. That's really all you can do. |
I think we're quite a bit better now defensively than we were then. At this point of this season when you're trying to win games, you have to make stops. Hopefully, we can play some of our best defense here in the sectionals. |
I thought he was one of the better young players in the league. |
I thought this juncture of the game was very critical for us. |
I was always amazed that he had this uncanny knack for being able to pluck a Canadian angle out of almost any overseas story. He was a very gentle man, but had a bulldog's tenacity when it came to chasing down the Canadian angle. |
It boosts everybody's morale. Everybody feels like now we know we can do it. Guys have been preaching all along how good we are and the kind of team we're capable of being, and it showed today. |
It's hard because it's like, pick your poison. It's a different attack, but it's an easier attack because it's more conventional. Air Force, they're going to do a good job using cut blocks and the option and a ball-control type of offense. Cal, they have better personnel. |
