I’ve never been in this situation before, … But hopefully the kids that get the opportunity to get in and play will do a good job.

We feel Jonathon has speed and athletic ability coming off the edge if we play him as a defensive end, … In college football you don’t need to have all those big people up front...

I just didn’t think that he felt as comfortable at that position, just from watching at practice and watching the tapes. I didn’t want to take 15 days [of spring practice] and all of the...

If he couldn’t throw, he wouldn’t be the guy going in for us,

He’s throwing the ball better and is making good decisions. He can hurt you throwing the ball and running the ball.

We had some inconsistencies last year at that position. We’ll have four guys compete for the job this spring.

He’s a hard-nosed football player. We just liked everything about him.

He’s going to work real hard to try and get himself back for this season. It’s unfortunate because he’s a young man who was making some progress this spring.

He’s never thrown a ball like that since I’ve seen him. He’s a guy that’s not going to force a ball, but that one should have gone into the stands. These are the things he’s...

After watching tape Friday night and after four days, there’s been a lot of improvement since the first day that we were out here. We’ve got a lot of guys working hard and a lot...

We’ll continue to run our offense and put a game plan together that we know he’ll be able to handle and that everyone will be able to execute.

They’re all pretty excited about it, but they also understand the practice squad can be a week-to-week thing,

He’s here, he’s paying his own way for classes, and he’s taking part in football activities. He’s a walk-on who’ll be fighting for a chance to play, just like everybody else.

Dan made significant improvement from the time his second spring ended to the fall. We?re hoping we get the same thing with D.J. We know he?s going to work his tail off.

They all watched the Iowa State-Army game on television. They saw what kind of team Army had.

It was one of those days, where the wind and conditions weren’t very good. It was a little sloppy, but the guys that have played understood their assignments.

That’s news to me if Marvin’s the starter,

For a big man, he’s got pretty light feet.

We’re trying to put the guy in there that gives us the best opportunity to do the things that we want to do offensively and has had the most experience with our offense,

I think they may have the best wide receiver in the country in Calvin Johnson. You just play against him and see the catches that he makes […] he poses a big problem for any...

We did lose a lot of seniors and there’s no one person that anybody can gravitate to and say `Here’s the guy.’ I know it’s nice to have outstanding players. But I also know it...

Those are the three that we really went after. Those are the three that we identified who we thought could really come in here and help our program.

He withdrew from school. For personal reasons he decided that he should withdraw from school.

We got overwhelmed by a really good defense.

He’s got to throw the ball a little quicker before guys make their breaks. He’s as upset as anybody.

He’s been practicing the same plays, the same game plan, through those first five weeks that we were doing with Matt. We’re going to just continue to go the way that we have been going....

Shane has got a tremendous passion to be a pilot. It’s not something that he could do here from an academic standpoint so he’s going to be going down there because he wants to be...

We tried to do everything we possibly could during this week of preparation to get him distracted on the practice field. I thought he handled things very well. We’ll just have to just see if...

He wanted to know if the film was up on the Internet yet. He had some swelling in his hand so he went down and got X-rays.

But I think the one thing is, they obviously made a good impression on those teams. They know there’s nothing etched in granite, in stone, for them to be there. They’re just going to work...

I’d like to have another guy like him and have bookends, … That’s what I’d like to do.

I think he’s progressed each practice. He seems to grasp all the concepts he’s being taught. He understands his assignments, he understands the concepts. Now it’s just a matter of him working extremely hard on...

He told me when we recruited him he wanted to win the Heisman as a running back. I think he’d tell you he’s playing on the right side of the ball now.

It comes across pretty well (on tape). You think there’s a hole and you see them play Auburn and North Carolina and you think the guy might get 15 yards but he only gets about...

I think he has a little bit more speed, a little bit more shake to him than what ‘Bones’ did.

The university has a very stringent Student Code of Conduct. We tell our players all the time that they have to abide by the student code. In these incidents, it didn’t affect any other student...

You want to get your program to the point where every day kids go out and know that they have to compete to get better because if they don’t they know there’s somebody behind them...

The kids competed and nobody lay down. But we’ve got to be able to step it up a little more.

We really liked what we had on our roster. I just didn’t feel the quarterback position was something we needed to address this year.

[Saturday] was more about getting lined up, knowing where you’re supposed to lineup and getting yourself in position to make the tackle. You’re going to find out more when they finally get to put the...

I don’t now if there’s a clear-cut leader. I think three of the four had their moments last year.

He gutted it out, but there are a lot of things he has to work on. He has to learn not to hold the ball so long in certain situations.

We’ll sit down and look at it. I have something in my mind but we’re going to hash it out first. I’ve got a lot of personnel issues to address here.

Cornell liked what he heard back from the league and has decided to pursue this avenue.

We’d like to get him up to about 250, … He’s a guy that has the athleticism to play the run and play the pass equally well.

I think it’s working out very well. It’s good because all five of those guys or all 15 of those guys are in the same room and they’re hearing the same thing. Not that there...

We knew we were going to play him as a linebacker,

When you have a guy like Larry we’ve let people know they’ve got to strain a little bit more [on blocks] because if you get on guys, he has the ability to hit the seams...

I think coming out early like that, he has to really try and showcase himself, especially since he didn’t get to go to the combines. He’s got to make his mark out there with people...

All of them bring something to the table or we wouldn’t have recruited them.
