He's what the game is all about. He's a 100 mile an hour guy all the time.

That's a real deficiency when only two of five guys are grading out.

No, there isn't. The backup is the freshman and that just wouldn't be right. He's not ready yet. Mike played well against Indiana State and he has to perform up to that potential.

The best way to keep their offense off the field is to get our offense going. I believe we have to run the football.

The biggest question was whether our QB would be able to play or not because he had only taken three snaps (last year). But he played like a veteran player.

It's the only way to truly assess what a guy has.

It's too bad he was ineligible last year and it'll be too bad if he's ineligible next year but he's putting his work in. He's a tough guy who relishes the competition and the hitting part of the game.

Oh, I don't know. There's a long way to go. Everybody has a chance. I couldn't even give you a close pick on that.

We are very excited about getting Ron to Eastern Illinois. He brings a lot of speed and versatility to our offense. We are going to try and get him the ball as much as possible. With his speed, he has the threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball. We will also have him returning kicks and punts.

We missed the holes as running backs at times, but there were also a lot of missed assignments and not great effort. There wasn't a lot of fight. Every man has to realize it's a dog-eat-dog world. You have to want it very badly.
