We don't see this as having any chance of being anything like the last three years. This is going to be a competitive, four-quarter game.

I think they are a pretty good team. They have so much tradition there. The last two years the talent there has been outstanding. We are hoping they aren't as strong, but we are preparing for that they will be every bit as good as they have been.

He's our cover guy. That's who we put on the opposing team's best person that game. I think he'll be outstanding. I didn't know where he'd fit last year. He quickly showed he belonged out there.

They are running neck and neck. I'm not so sure early in the year if we don't use them both. We are usually not a two-quarterback team. None has really emerged as the clear-cut guy.

He is going to get the ball a lot. Offensively, he's a guy that's going to make us go. We're going to get him the football.

I don't think we could have picked a tougher schedule. But no one is going to feel sorry for Valley.

It was a hard-fought game by both teams. Both teams deserve a lot of credit.

They got the feature quarterback in the state in Austen Arnaud. He can take a game over. You know they'll be improved. You will see him excel because they will have a better surrounding cast.

Newton and Fort Dodge will be good. I think everyone will be OK.
