I don't want to overstate the importance of our football program to the city, but South Florida's important to us and I think we're a big part of South Florida. I hope people can enjoy just a little break from the monotony of all the terrible things that have happened.

I don't want to blame this on Rochford. The fact is it's not all his fault. But the snaps have to be better. And we also have to hold it and put it down and make the kick.

I don't want to just have Andrew in a backup role. Andrew may be our most talented back. I know he's our fastest back and he's our biggest back, other than Tyrone.

brother equal excited faster somewhat special
I'm really excited about Sinorice, ... probably faster than Santana, and I think the thing I see is he has a lot of maturity. Sinorice is one of the leaders. ... I think one thing he has to do to somewhat equal his brother is we have to get him the football. I think we do that and we'll see some really special things of him.
