We think he can come in and be a decent guy to compete for that job. We need to get better in our passing game. We didn't have the most prolific offense, and we think he can definitely help us in that area.

We could do a better job opening things up, that's for sure. There are some days when things just don't go your way like they did last week.

You want to play the best and be the best. I think the people at the university and in Southern Utah are starting to understand if they go out to a game, they're going to get a good game.

There's no doubt in my mind that his experience will help us. He's a complete package runner.

We wouldn't have gone after him if we didn't think he would come in and be an impact player. He's one of the best corners I've seen in (the Western States Football League). He can cover and has good speed and can lay a hit on, all the things you want in a cornerback.

That money benefits the whole athletic department. Our programs can get much better all the way around if we spearhead it with the scholarships.

Defensively, we had a tough time bringing them down. We gave up a lot of extra yards we shouldn't have given up. We have to get ball carriers wrapped up.

He'll work his butt off to be the guy. He knows what his strengths are, but he knows he needs to work harder to get better at his passing and be a complete quarterback.

You can't take anything away from (Texas State). They are one tough ball club. I give them a lot of credit, but there are things we need to fix.
