It was very wet. The greens were very hard to putt. A lot of golfers had a problem with that. If you’re a long ball hitter, you were fine.

I’m not thinking about dignity right now, but what happened and what we need to do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. As bad as it was, we did have opportunities in the ballgame...

The whole game is played out of the press box, when you get right to it. Spectators on the sideline don’t get to see very much.

The Yale-Harvard game means every bit as much to the players, coaches, faculty, administration and fans as any rivalry in college football.

First and foremost, coaches, and then players, have to really recognize what are the issues. We’re in that process right now. We got a decent start on it (Monday), and we hope to continue through...

I don’t think it’s quite the issue that it was made out to be initially,

I think that’s probably the case. But that’s an excuse, and I don’t mean it to be.

I would prefer Meier if he gets healthy, … He has a better arm, and Webb seems a little too sporadic.

I think there is a misperception that Vince Young does a lot of things that Chance Mock can’t do. If you get lulled to sleep with the idea that they won’t let Chance run the...

I think he’s learning what this conference is all about. What I like is his mental toughness. He did a pretty nice job today.

I’m making myself available. We communicate back and forth. I’m abreast of everything taking place.

That’s certainly a concern for us, and maybe as big as any. The fact that we only have two sacks in two ballgames probably addresses that issue as much as any other stat that’s out...

The individual pass rush, which was a major concern, has made some improvement,

My health is fine,

They did a good job of taking away our transition game and not letting us get out and run and that is how we do most of our scoring. The pressure of the game and...

It was the worst quarter of the year for us. But that was the best team we’ve played. I think a lot of it had to do with them, not my coaching. We played well...

I thought his presence on the field allowed you to gain some confidence and understand that he wasn’t going to get shaken. He wasn’t going to get rattled.

The turnovers were more a product of our spacing. We got out of sync and (Romeo) did a nice job of pressing us and distorting our spacing.

I think I would assess his play somewhere in that category (mediocre), with the thought behind it meaning that he’s a very capable young guy, … Even though he did well, he believes there is...

It’s so difficult to assess. We’ve made some improvement, but how much we’ll define on Saturday.

I’ve been thinking about it maybe off and on for a little longer than I should have,

The good thing is we repaired, for the most part, a substantial amount of issues that we were concerned with. I was concerned with us fumbling the ball, and I think we managed the ball...

It will be very competitive. All four candidates are doing well. Now to qualify that, we don’t have a Darren Sproles. But they’re all doing well. They’re assignment sound, they work hard and they have...

I think we’re a better division than we were a year ago. I don’t know if all of us are, but collectively, that’s the case. I think the North champion will be above .500.

I told them just to include the really special runs, not the mundane ones. Well, there’s over 200 snaps on there.

There will be some consequences for Thomas. We have to let things settle down a little bit. It’s not what it appears to be. And I’m not in position to tell you, to elaborate on...

Every time we put him on his back, he threw to the end zone.

As far as I know, my doctor has not complained well, he’s complained about some of my habits, … But to my knowledge, I’m physically fine.

Every game, T.J. always finds hustle points. Every game he is going to kick in with pure hustle plays, and those are the plays that lift you emotionally. When you see a teammate make plays...

Thomas is a better back than what you saw today. I’m not saying he was bad, he wasn’t bad at all. I saw Thomas do some things during our two a day period that were...

Part of it is he presses awfully hard. He wants to make a play every time he gets a chance.

Thomas had no intent, nor did he harm anyone. He was wrong in departing from where he was, and he accepts that responsibility. He knows that there are consequences, and he is in the process...

It was not surprising to me,

As I said to Davin or any of our players, no one play (decided the outcome). I can think of 100 in any ball game…. No one should have to carry the burden for that....

I think the people that have come through the program and have gone on to be productive young people in society means as much as anything, … I mean really productive people become special people...

I think for everything there is probably a right time, and its normally pretty difficult to define what that right time is, … To me, this is the right time and the reasons are pretty...

They took him through the mud, pretty much. He was a good man.

I don’t know. I thought he ran very, very well. Yes, he’ll be a factor.

We spent a lot of time looking backward, and that was out of necessity. What has taken place is we’ve worked very diligently and hard collectively, our staff and our players, to define exactly what...

It was my intent for him to be here, and Thomas was on board with that. But because this hasn’t been settled yet legally, we’ll wait until that takes place. His not being here is...

Rhett just gives you the complete package, I think. Now, it’s just a matter of growth for him.

I think the time is right … because first and foremost, it’s best for the university, … I think that because of the nature of the profession that we are in, it becomes a difficult...

The difficult thing is that it’s still an early season game, there’s a change in the coaching staff and there’s a number of different things,

Beating Chippewa Valley is a pretty good win for us or for anybody. I don’t care what their record is when we play them. They come out and they play hard and play good defense....

Dick [Montgomery], a painter by trade, was just a hardworking, humble guy. Now they have two daughters serving in Africa, one in Portugal and a son doing mission work in Iraq.

There are some youngsters who need a lot of [repetition] for the development process, but Darren doesn’t need those extra carries.

Well, how do you want me to measure it, … On a scale of one to 10, we were a zero.

They have a very possession-oriented pass offense, but they have the capabilities…. They can stretch you down the field and stretch you laterally as well. They have good receivers who not only can catch the...

It was a monumental game, I think, for him. I thought he handled it quite well, from what I saw. He’s a very poised young guy.

I sat by my locker, and tears ran down my face. The man was a legend. He made some of my dreams come true.
