45 Quotes by Charlie Coe

Getting off to a good start like that was big. Whenever you play a team like Southern, getting out front quick is a big key.

From talking to these (coaches), they like what they're seeing. I think right now that he's second-day, probably a fourth-round guy. I don't know how much he can move up from there because of the talent above him. I don't think he could slip much farther than that, though.

We're probably not going to name anyone the starter coming out of spring, but I'd say he'll be the likely starter. These other guys we have are so young and just don't have the experience Engram does. You can see it in the way he carries himself on the field and with the way he controls the team when he's on the field.

He'll be a player for us. He's a young guy, so we'll have to get him in here and see how he does. But with our situation, he'll have a shot.

I think we've done pretty well. I feel like we've got a lot of the kinds of players we went after. We've got some good athletes in here.

I think it was a high blood pressure thing. We took him over there and he was being checked out, but his blood pressure was way up.

Like I've said before, we had to get some experienced players in here and that's why you see all the transfer JUCO players. We needed warm bodies, so to speak, and we got them. We really believe these guys can come in here and help us out right away.

I think he's really beginning to catch a lot of eyes out there. He's just a little raw right now, because he's never had an experienced quarterbacks coach work with him. But you don't get the kind of interest he is if teams aren't liking what they see and what they hear about him. He's obviously impressed the scouts, and the teams are sending coaches to check him out.

That was as good as the offense has looked since I can remember. That was just about perfect.
