He's mean as a snake, has a big chip on his shoulder and can fly. That's the perfect football player.

He's not the prototype tailback because he doesn't have quite the field vision or shake to him that the really good tailbacks have. But he has deceptive speed. We ran the legs off him, so he can take a pounding. He's very durable.

They work hard. This is really a good group of kids, ... They're starting to go in and have fun now.

It's going well. We've won a few games and it makes life a little nicer.

It's early. We've still got Atlantic and Leonard, so that could change pretty quick.

You find them real quick. Those are the fun kids. They love to hit people.

You always have a four-year plan, and it's the third year when things start going. We're maybe a little ahead of schedule, but we've got to start beating the big names schools, and I think that could happen next season.

I don't agree with the cookie-cutter mentality. It's maddening. It's sad and very frustrating.

I don't know what it is. Recruiting is crazy.
