We’re growing accustomed to him doing the things that he does.

Right now it’s Jimmie Russell. He was outstanding when he came into the ballgame . . . He put them in scramble situations and caused problems for them. That’s how we were able to get...

It’s not the problems you have, but how you react to them that counts.

Defensively, we’re putting a lot of pressure on people.

I’ll tell what, old Bobbie Williams and Larry Summers did a great job. Bobbie seems to be able to find the ball every week now, and that’s great. We just hope that he can continue...

He came in and cut down on the mental mistakes. That’s why we had the success we had.

(Russell) did a fantastic job.

I don’t like to practice in the rain. People get sick; they get hurt. It’s one thing to play a game in the rain, but I don’t like practicing in it.

They’re showing improvement. They got better. You can see the difference between the Virginia State game and the (North Carolina) A&T game. And they’ve had two weeks to get ready for this game.

Right now the elements haven’t been kind to us.

Playing against a former coach has nothing to do with it. We do it the same way whether we’re playing Elizabeth City, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, South Carolina State. Now it’s Norfolk State that’s right in front...

McCloud is the quarterback for this week. He’s the quarterback we’re preparing to go with.

I’m probably the only person loyal to the bone to my alma mater. I don’t want to go anywhere. I’m just proud to be in the position I’m in.

I didn’t know we were going to be ahead of the offense. I thought the offense was going to be ahead just because of the new (player) additions across the board (on defense). We’ve got...

We have lots of speed. It’s tough to run in those conditions. Once the rain started, it was a bad field. That took its toll on us. That slowed us down.

We knew it was gonna be a tough game for us. They made it tough for us. We’re gonna be all right, I think, with a little time and a little experience.

He was OK. We just didn’t get it done. We [changed quarterbacks] for a change of pace.

They have to jell right now. I don’t have time to waste. This is a huge challenge for me and the team. The 51 points (Elizabeth City scored last week) was very impressive.
