I'm appreciative to the university for their support of me and the football program. I continue to enjoy my stay here, and look forward to leading this football program for years to come. We have an exciting schedule, our recruiting has been very positive and we are excited about the upcoming season.

We've got some things in there for them.

It was a good year. I became closer to this team than any other team because of everything we've been through.

Their quarterback really had a good game. He really hurt us running the football.

I'm just disappointed we didn't take care of the ball any better that first quarter. I thought we had a chance to do a lot of good things.

It's a big loss for us because we thought he was an outstanding quarterback prospect. It's unfortunate for him. I feel real bad for him.

His expectations are high and that's fine with me. He's busy trying to make some facility improvements, not only for football but other sports to give us the ability to grow and be more competitive. I appreciate that.

Obviously at this point in time, most of these kids have it narrowed down to a few schools at most. I think you just continue to sell your program. You continue to sell the strong points of your program and we think we've got a lot to sell.

We lost a couple of weekends in December because there weren't enough hotel rooms. We try and keep (the group) to 15 at the most, but we didn't have much choice.
