Famous Quotes & Sayings

Wayne Grant

Our defense is playing real good right now. The punt return team gave up the touchdown. The defense played real well against Troy. They had two big plays for their touchdowns. Other than that, we didn't give up much. I feel a lot better our defense than I did this time last year.

The most satisfying thrillers send ordinary people into battle against the forces of evil - otherwise known as greed, ego, rage, fear and laziness - and bring them out bloodied but whole.

Dave Rose

The most pleasing thing about this win is how many of our guys stepped up and contributed, and did it against the best team in our league, a very, very good team.

Randy Sanders

The most important thing is confidence. It's hard. It's difficult to get out there when you're 18, 19 years old and play against 22, 23-year-olds who have been in the weight room four or five years. They've been shaving since you've been in middle school. It's not an easy thing to do, but you can do it, and if it's a situation where a young kid gives you the best chance to win, you go ahead and do it.

Actually, we?re pretty familiar with their personnel. They?re senior-loaded. They have four seniors, I think, who start or play a lot, who we were able to play against twice. We?re pretty familiar with them. Amanda Butler was the associate head coach when we had those two games. They do a lot of things that are similar, with a few twists.

The way King played us defensively, it was obvious how they felt about Adam. I don't think you focus a defense like that unless a guy is a big-time stud.

The way I'm hitting, I'd better make those plays. This year, I'm getting paid for my defense. I work hard at it, I take pride in it. In games like this, small plays make a difference.

Cedric Bozeman

This is special and this is a special group of guys. We play defense. That's what we do. We didn't let them walk over us.

This is out of the blue. Everything you could have messed up, we messed up out there. These guys have played terrific defense all year, so it's very uncharacteristic.

This game will be a lot tougher. If we just play the defense like we played the last time, maybe a little harder, we should be OK.

Tim Brasic

That's when I really took a picture of the defense and everything started slowing down. I just saw everything so perfectly on that play. I really started to get a good feel for it.

That's what we want our identity to be. We want to be a defense that runs and hits. That's what we want people to talk about.
