apartment both certainly drain family kick people players several
Several of our players have more people (evacuated family and friends) in their apartment than they have any right to have in their apartment. And you can't kick them out because certainly it's the right thing. And they're not sleeping, and some of them don't have their own bed. There's some drain on our players both emotionally and physically.

Glen Dorsey stepped up. He's going to be a great leader and a tremendous player for us inside.
team school player
We ask these players to do some very difficult things, for the team, the coaching staff, the school - at risk of injury. And when they do those things, I feel as if I'm in their debt. It's an honor to coach those guys. I want to be of service to them.

It's early to guess, but I think in terms of our three tailbacks, I think Justin Vincent is going to have a banner year. He's unselfish. He's the right kind of person. He's improving, and I look forward to him having a great year.

It's a great day. It's time to get the team on campus and start getting better. I think the summer went well. We had two men that failed the conditioning test, one of which was operated on and the other just needs to lose a little bit more weight.
effect games miami negative ohio opponents stadium understand
We better understand that games in this stadium with non-conference opponents can have a very negative effect if they're not prepared, ... UAB and Miami of Ohio are two such evidences of that.

We're getting out-schemed by the defense right now, ... Our offense has been sloppy.
