22 Quotes by Andy Smyth

We appear to be the smallest team on the field each week. They're big. They're a very big, physical team.

Now we found out we have two more weapons in the backfield.

If we can't learn to execute and tackle better, we're going to get into a vicious cycle.

I don't think you come and if you lose, you're behind the 8-ball. We're not approaching it that dramatically. But with the season we had last year, we're trying to get it off on the right foot. We're trying to build up. We're not living in last year, but we're reminding these kids how important it is to get something early to reverse those fortunes.

He had a tough night. It happens. You hate (to bench him), it's hard to do it.

We've got to minimize mistakes. We absolutely have to execute in the red zone. In two games, we've been fairly successful moving from our 20-, 30-yard line to other teams' 20 or 30 -- and then we bog down. Instead of really concentrating, we've been sloppy.

I see a lot of hard luck. I'm sure they're saying the same thing about us. They have some really outstanding receivers. They have the kind of players, if you're not focused on them, and if you don't game plan for them, who could really open the game up with some big plays.

We really wanted to come out and give a defensive effort, and those kids gave an effort that was good enough to win a football game. Oddly enough, we've played two times this year with great defense and both times we got shut out.

We'd like to play a game with no turnovers and keep the other team from big plays. If we can get into the fourth quarter, anything can happen.
