It didn’t happen overnight, and we didn’t try to do it all at one time. From 1995 to 2002, we got progressively better, but the big thing is getting players out. The more success we’ve...

Larry hopes to play when he gets to Navy, but this will help prepare him for the next level of football.

Our running game is going to be solid, … but our passing game may be as good as it’s ever been.

He’s been catching the ball like you can’t believe. And his speed has come on like gangbusters. He’s definitely a deep threat.

Dreams do come true

Brandon is a great kid who helped Beau a lot after Beau became the starter.

There was just no question. I felt he had a heck of a shot. He has done many things on and off the field and contributed so much.

He can really move,

He who waits on God never waits too long

That was part of the (championship). At Heinz field, to look into each other’s eyes and clasp hands. It was a dream come true,

We saw last year, when he was a sophomore, that Beau had ability.

We have a lot of things planned for the evening,

I don’t think there’s any question this a big a football game. Both teams are undefeated and know there is a lot at stake. We have a lot of respect for Duquesne. We know it’s...

Skip appreciates his roots. He was a kid who came out of an orphanage in Mars. He came to Oakmont and became a pretty good football player. His life is focused around doing good things...

(Fields) has great height, great hands, runs the ball very well after the catch, and can even make the tough catches in a crowd. He’s just a great, solid kid. (Dunn) runs the ball very...

This was a great way to cap off this day,

Tug is pretty much one of a kind.

Mario’s looked outstanding catching the ball on possession passes, which is what Danny excelled in.

The starters want to stay in and play, but they’re not selfish. They know we have some seniors and a lot of underclassmen that deserve to play.

This is the biggest change [in the circus] since the loss of the big top. We’ve gone beyond the three-ring circus.

It’s challenging to get everybody in, but we did. Everybody played. This game will help us from a depth standpoint. We got a lot of kids some experience today.

Mike makes plays you’d never expect high school kids to make.

I’ll be very happy when we have him back. But next week we need all of our running backs to step it up.

This is the kind of game you shoot for in high school football. It’s what it’s all about.

We play to houses that are 15,000 to 17,000 people [compared to Broadway shows with an audience of 2,000 or 3,000]. It’s a different style of entertainment. I trained in the theater to sing to...

He’s a good kid. Michael, overall, had a fine football game.

We’ve talked about that this week,

We were solid in every regard. We ran the ball very well. That’s a big part of our attack, but we also have an outstanding passing attack and showed that tonight.

We know our running game will help our passing game like it did last year,

He’s not afraid to go out there and hit people. But with his hands and speed, he can be a deep threat for us. He could be a real force at tight end.

We have a lot of respect for Fields, he’s a great athlete. He does so many different things. But he’s not the only one.

Our kids are looking forward to the evening. I think these guys will talk to our guys about more than just football. I mean, they’ll talk about things in regards to the future.

It’s time to put a stop to their (win) streak.

Coming into this game, we were more concerned about our defense. The defense played well. They took a big step forward.

We have to take it up a few notches for that game,

But our main responsibility is to make sure we go out and win the football game. If not, people aren’t going to go home happy.

They wanted to take the traditional circus and make it more kid friendly. Now it’s easy for kids to follow.

That’s a positive. He’s got a whole year under his belt and has improved quite a bit.

These guys can go deep, as well as short. They have really stood out (in the preseason).
