We played pretty much a four-man front for years around here and we played against people with a four-man front. ... If you get good enough playing a three-man front we don't care what they play against in practice.

We came down to have a good time. We came down to work and we came down to win a football game and that's why we're here. Did it affect our players and our coaches? Sure it did.

We used to be pretty good on the goal line. But somewhere along the line, we've lost it. They wanted to get in more than we wanted to keep them out.

bring burning coaches dropped himself hobbies players priorities spirit ways winning
You got to be a winner, and bring coaches and players that winning is important too, and want to do their best. I think another thing is that coach (Bowden) has hobbies (and) priorities that are set and he has ways to keep himself from burning out. I don't think his competitive spirit has dropped any.
