He only plays the one way, hard.

Hopefully (there will be) students willing to stretch themselves a little bit more because Tech has all the components they are looking for.

The water from the ground is warmer than the outside conditions, so it helps.

He was smart little guy. He was pretty mischievous too. You can see that in his pictures. You can see the sparkle in his eye.

We know we're not getting any younger. We're a team that gained quite a bit of experience here the last four years of the playoffs. We've also had early exits the last four years.

When you're labeled as an offensive team and you don't do it, it's a little frustrating, but you just have to stay with it. It's one game, but it's a step in the right direction.

Our depth was really important.

We are all very committed to helping this [program] work and also studying it this first year and seeing what we need to do for its subsequent years...programs like this evolve.

It was early in the year and we've looked forward to competing against them later in the year, ... They've obviously improved a lot over the course of the year and they beat Illinois, Penn State and Rhode Island. We're the only top-four team they haven't beaten.

We are convinced that it's come to this because the South Florida Management District and for that matter the Corps have shown a consistent bias and unfairness for decades.

There seems to be a few smiles on his face out there.

He has a lot to prove. He's a guy that is very motivated. He has a big challenge in front of him and he's looking to face it head on.

I'm not going to lie, when you're a guy that is expected to put up numbers offensively and you haven't done it for a few games, it wears on you.

He feels he has a lot to prove.

He comes from a good high school program.

It was different, ... I'm not used to being in control, but the coaches helped me and we worked together.

He has a built-in self-starter. He's never satisfied where he's at. He's always pushing himself.

You just have to keep pushing for it and know you're going to get chances. Just believe you can do it and bear down when you get the chance.

This just gives us a huge, huge adrenaline rush, ... This is just what we needed. The team is young and this is a confidence booster for them and for myself.

They have a track record of success, ... And if any company could bring a new game franchise to success in the market, they would be it.

They were a little nervous at the start, and we wanted to take advantage of that.

Going into to the game, I knew I had to step it up. There's no sense hanging your head about it. You've got to go out and do the little things and help the team win. Last game I felt good, but didn't get too many chances. It feels good to get the first one. I knew it's only a matter of time before I notched my first goal and got a few points.
