“They, like us, are struggling a little bit on offense. They haven't been able to put the points up or have the consistency to be successful in the A-10. Both teams are searching for some offensive success this weekend.”
“We really recognize how well they're playing the game defensively. They have some very good players at linebacker. They don't do a lot of things, but are very well coached on the defensive side of the ball.”
“Consistency is the word Coach Wilder has used. We didn't come out with a great start last week. We had a real run of explosiveness in the second quarter, but didn't finish some things after that. Play the play. Drive the drive. We have what we think is the makings of a good offensive football team. We need consistency.”
“We put a personal touch on it, to make their parents feel comfortable with the handoff, and know they'll be supported in everything they do. It's a great college environment. The football's all it's cranked up to be, and the education and the degree are very valuable because of the success they'll have on the field and in the classroom.”
“It's good for everybody. There's a general feeling that we're all working together as a department and when a fellow student-athlete or fellow coach has success, it motivates all of us. There's a camaraderie between the athletes and coaches.”
“We're going to keep following that path that we blazed last year. You're going to see a lot more of the spread stuff, trying to take advantage of the field vertically and horizontally, and taking chances trying to get the ball to our best receivers.”
