10 Quotes by Chris Boden

I'm always juggling 20 things at one time. I look forward to being on the field with the guys. I look at it as a break. I get out of the office and get away from the phone. I go out there and coach football for two hours a day, which is what I truly love.

We're going to be a very young football team. We're bringing in over 40 freshmen which I think is a good thing. We have very good football players that are here now and that we'll count on to play. It will be exciting to see how fast they learn and how they jell as a team.

I like a fast tempo in practice but we have to slow some things down. We're teaching the players when to go hard and when you can back off. We're lean everywhere. We have just seven offensive linemen and the defensive line has had injuries. Running back and linebacker have the most depth and that isn't a ton right now.
