We executed well on both sides of the ball and controlled the line of scrimmage. Although we made a few mental mistakes in the second half, we were very pleased with the teams effort as a whole.

You can play hard. You can play aggressive. You can give 120%, but if one guy is out of position then someone's running through the line of scrimmage and he's going to gain a bunch of yards.
Bill Belichick
We're going to try to move the line of scrimmage. We don't want it to be a track meet, but maybe it will be.
Tom Mihalovich
After the first scrimmage, I realized that they didn't need any extra time to develop on the junior varsity.
Tony Turina
It felt like a scrimmage.
Chris Leshinski
We improved from last week. It was a pretty even scrimmage. Our defense did well. Our offense dropped some passes and made some mistakes, but it was pretty even.
Rich Lichtel
We knew [Tech] would try to stack the line of scrimmage and take away the run. They were putting eight or nine guys in the box on every play. They were basically giving us the pass.
Phil Horvath
It was typical of any scrimmage.
Mark Davis
It starts in the trenches, and if you can't control the line of scrimmage, it's going to be a long night. That it was for us.
Tom O'brien
We improved as the scrimmage went on. In the later part, we played a lot better.
Lance Manning
Today, for the scrimmage, we had five referees line up, and we let the kids wear the new game jerseys to get them used to how they feel, because they need to get used to real-life game situations. Our main focus was to get through the scrimmage healthy, which we did.
Joe Pannunzio
He was about to become a starter. He's just 6-foot-1, but he plays bigger than that. He just landed on someone's foot during a scrimmage in practice. The scary thing is he's had injures before and you hope it's not something that's going to keep popping up.
Tim Spiers
I knew previously they had a scrimmage and I talked to a coach who was at the scrimmage. (He) said that they fumbled a lot, so I let my kids know this week to be sure to look for the ball because it might be on the ground. They saved us a few times by giving up fumbles.
Jay Noonan
They came out in that second half, it was impressive how they took control of the line of scrimmage.
Grady Bennett
We felt responsible for each other. The D-line's got to take care of that line of scrimmage, (the linebackers) have got to clean up, and the safeties and DBs take care of that back end. We felt we're a brotherhood and we just had to get it done.
Kawika Mitchell
His position doesn't allow him to make the plays out in space and he's probably not as noticeable. But from our standpoint as a staff, what he does (at the line of scrimmage), he's every bit as important as anybody else on the team.
Jim Heacock
Understand this about that scrimmage. We didn't scheme any for Jasper.
Larry Neumann
We have high expectations. We have skilled players returning and we have been executing well in practice and [in the team's first scrimmage Aug. 13 against Montour].
Keith Hartbauer
Controlling them up front, they make it extremely easy for our linebackers because of the quickness and strength that they have. They dominate the line of scrimmage for the rest of our defense and it make it easier for all of them.
Kevin Bartz
It wasn't planned. It's something that we have if they don't happen to cover one of our gunners. It's a check on the line of scrimmage.
Lee Etzler
The difference [in the game] was No. 52, Schilling. He made plays. As an offensive lineman controlling the line of scrimmage, that's where football is won and lost.
Keith Alexander
Last week was the most consistent they've been. They were coming off the ball every play and controlling the line of scrimmage and we need them to do that again to allow our linebackers to make plays.
Marty Arganbright
We really controlled the line of scrimmage in the second half. We did not [do that] in the first half, and that's a tribute to Newark. Newark is a very good football team, and they'll get better.
Bill Dinardo
It was in the spirit of making the team better. Apparently you can't scrimmage a boys team. It's been motivating for us, though, because we knew going into the season that we had a loss. Now we just have to take care of the games we can and go from there.
Dianne Mattingly
It's a hard-working group that definitely wants to repeat, but they know the focus has to be on one game at a time. They saw the reality of that in our first scrimmage when our quarterback went down.
Steve Boone
He was the star of that game, ... At that scrimmage, he did everything. He substantiated everything I believed in that he was capable of doing and he did it.
Aaron Wolf
We're not ready to win a State championship with them, but I thought they passed their first test. What I really like about them is every scrimmage they got better. We have pointed out mistakes and every scrimmage they got better.
Chris Olsen
The offensive line was winning at the line of scrimmage, so I felt like we could run all day.
Terrence Whitehead
To a degree, they do get tired of looking at themselves across the line of scrimmage every day, ... You do get to that point where you get tired of that, and it gets old.
Jeff Price
We use this (scrimmage) to evaluate who will start for us, and who we thought might start that might end up coming off the bench. We even get a chance to look at some new plays that we want to run and see if they can work out.
Dave Baron
There won't be any gimmicks. Just play your position. It will come down to which team has the most talent and who controls the line of scrimmage.
Jeff Wrede
Both played well in [Saturday's] scrimmage, and we wanted to move them up to the first team this morning to see how they reacted.
Don Strock
We got ahead, and we sort of sat on it and maybe got a little conservative, ... I didn't feel like they were moving the ball good enough on us to beat us. I just felt like our team was dominating the line of scrimmage.
Brent Miller
The scrimmage will decide a lot of things for the coach about who the final 18 will be for the trip to Colby on Saturday.
Todd Gilbert
Our front-four [offensive line] players did a good job. We had some nice drives. We controlled the ball. We did an outstanding job on defense. We controlled the line of scrimmage.
Jeff Whittaker
I was pleased with the effort and the execution improved from the previous scrimmage. The penalties were drastically reduced and the mental mistakes were reduced.
Mark Hutson
That was in that scrimmage at Washington University. We were fighting a little bit after the play. It was a little heated argument.
Andy Mccollum
We have a passing offense, and so a lot of times you don't get to be as physical as an offensive line. When we get the opportunity to run, and when we're called on, we're going to take advantage of it and let people know that we can move the ball and we can move the line of scrimmage.
Jake Kuresa
Tim is going to foot the bill for the boat charter for people from St. Croix to come over. He just wants to get as many people from St. Croix to St. Thomas to see this open scrimmage as possible.
Rashidi Clenance
Our front four got some tremendous pressure in the backfield. Coach Foster said that we should make sure to play behind the line of scrimmage the whole game. That made the linebackers' job a lot easier.
Vince Hall
We didn't see any of that (offense) in the scrimmage or on film, but that's what teams are going to do to us this year. We're going to have to be able to adjust to that. We did a decent job with that at times Friday night, but we've got to do a better job.
Steve Tutsie
We got their scrimmage tape, but it didn't show a whole lot.
Paul Klaboe
A surprising amount of fans were here for our alumni match and scrimmage. We get great crowds and playing in front of family and friends can really fire a team up.
Michelle Earl
If I had to pick one thing at the moment that's bugging me, it would be our serving. We missed way too many in the scrimmage. So we've been harping on serving aggressively in practice, but also remembering that we have to get it in the court as well.
Curt Yaeger
We're made on being able to run the football, and until we can control the line of scrimmage, that's going to be difficult for us to do. We have a lot of strides to make there.
Kris Thorson
When it's wet like it was tonight, that makes it hard on option teams because it's difficult to make that pitch, ... Plus, we felt like we could cause problems for them because our defense is good at penetrating past the line of scrimmage. All we wanted to do was keep the momentum going in our favor once we got the lead.
Keith Wilkes
It was kind of hard because we played a scrimmage against McAllen Memorial and we won, but we didn't look that good in the first half. Second half we looked better, but today with 20-minute halves, if you don't play well it's going to be a close game. But we started playing well from the beginning, so it was good.
Omar Pedroza
We did get better passing in the last scrimmage, but we've got to get a lot better. We want to establish the running game first.
David Walton
We easily missed about five sacks. I know I missed one myself. There's no good medicine. You've just got to keep practicing. You get off the line of scrimmage, you get in there, make the tackle.
Scott Paxson
We controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, but almost gave it away in the second half.
Dave Currid
We lost the line of scrimmage battle. Harrisburg's offense had our defense on our heelswe weren't as aggressive as our first two weeks, plus we simply didn't tackle.
Kent Anderson
We're not in any way, shape or form ready to play a game but we're getting there. Overall, for a first scrimmage, and the first time with officials calling penalties, this was pretty good. We have lots to improve but our effort was good. I was real pleased with our young kickers and punters. They're adding a dimension we've lacked.
Scott Stoker
It hadn't looked good, even in the summer and in August with the scrimmage. We just weren't getting them where they needed to be; they weren't running with a lot of authority.
Charlie Smith
I don't know what it looked like from the press box, but from where I was standing, it looked like we were man-handling the line of scrimmage.
Bill Davidson
They're big on the line of scrimmage and have speed to burn in the backfield. They just line eight people up in the box and just try to wear people down. And they've been very successful at it so far.
Chip Mcmillian
Offensively we need to control the line of scrimmage. But, overall we need to just block, tackle and run.
Mike Sabins
The size of the athletes, especially in the line of scrimmage, are bigger and stronger.
David Parsons
He practiced this week but no way were we going to scrimmage him. We'll determine more on Monday or Tuesday.
Mike Durnin
All week we stressed the importance of maintaining gaps and attacking downhill and controlling the line of scrimmage.
Keith Bulluck
I wasn't sure if we were ever going to get it in. Penalties hurt us tonight. That is one thing I am surprised about. We played pretty clean football through two-a-days and our scrimmage. A lot of that stuff happens in game one. We have to clean that up.
Cory Gildersleeve
We're really appreciative that they're letting us have a scrimmage. We can do some things on grass and face some live pitching.
Rich Maloney
We could've used a scrimmage before this game, but we didn't get to play. We lost nine seniors. That's a lot to replace, but we're going to be pretty good in a few weeks.
Meredith Corriher
A lot of the win had to do with our senior leadership. We needed that. We made a lot of silly mistakes in the first half: guys falling down, guys not taking advantage of holes that were there (along the line of scrimmage).
Mike Dimatteo
It was a competitive scrimmage. We still have a long way to go, but it's reassuring that the work we did this week is showing up a little bit.
Terry Stotts
I think we're pretty confident now. We played last week in a scrimmage and we didn't play like we thought we should. I think we played a lot more like we should today.
Joe Favero
When we're running so well, defenses come up to the line of scrimmage with additional people. We don't have to throw the ball a lot; we just have to be effective when we do.
Andy Bitto
We minimized turnovers, we controlled the line of scrimmage and we really came out and hit people tonight.
George Mccartin
We get our reps in, then the guys who come off the bench more scrimmage a little bit more than we do. It's good as long as we're there mentally for the practice days.
Grant Stout
We had been working on the press over the break and we have tweaked it a little. It started clicking with the girls in the scrimmage we had over the break and we were hoping it would give us an advantage tonight and it did.
Bobby Walters
Nick has to have a good game throwing the ball. Gatlinburg-Pittman likes to crowd the line of scrimmage. If we can spread the field, I think we can move the ball.
Ben Murphy
It makes no sense whatsoever and I really don't understand why they started to do that. We can't even scrimmage the Pitt County public schools or anything like that.
Laura Walsh
We played awfully well, and we played hard. We said we wanted to control the line of scrimmage. We want to be physical. We just believe in being physical, and sometimes that takes over the ballgame.
Mike Glaser
We just couldn't stop (Gardner) when we needed to, ... You have to give them a lot of credit for controlling the line of scrimmage at the end of the game. Every time we hit one of their backs, they were able to push the pile forward for the extra yards they needed.
John Beary
There's such a difference between high school cornerbacks and guys in college, in how physical they play and how good they are at getting their hands on you. He just didn't have any idea how to get off the line of scrimmage and has really worked hard over the summer on that. I think that's the biggest area of improvement.
Sonny Dykes
He certainly lived up to expectations [in the scrimmage]. He missed the first one, but from then on, he was special. It's nice to be able to put the ball down on the 25 [yard line] and in and know that you have a good shot at three points.
Dean Gordon Brown
It's tough to win when we can't establish the line of scrimmage and protect, or run the ball at all. We've got some emphasis on that.
Owen Daniels
He's very fast, and we had a scrimmage in Cobleskill and he looked very good. He has a chance to be our featured back.
Steve Pugliese
I think I've actually been pretty good in scrimmage but, as for the three exhibition games, I'm really not that happy with myself. I think I can play better. Hopefully I can get one more game in.
Staffan Kronwall
We have some building to do. If you're not controlling the line of scrimmage, it's going to be tough. You have to at least break even along the line and obviously we're not doing that.
Steve Spurrier
The line of scrimmage has gotten better each week, no doubt about it.
Kevin Maloof
I'm out manned on the line of scrimmage. At the beginning of the year I knew that. I have as good a backfield as anyone, but we can't block for them.
Ernest Vogt
It's not necessarily the weight but the strength. Because getting off the jam [at the line of scrimmage] is imperative in the Pac-10. If you can do that using quickness along with strength, you can do well against the bump-and-run.
Eric Yarber
I was in at nose tackle, ... Their quarterback was trying to run the ball wide. Their center grabbed onto me and tried to bury me, but I broke free and ran down the line and caught the quarterback before he got to the line of scrimmage.
Pearl White
I've been playing consistently in the scrimmage and against San Diego and against the Bills, ... What more can I do?
