“We knew they were in spread coverage all night long. We hadn't really taken many shots down field, but when we did take them, we completed them for good yardage. Two plays before, Calvin checked to the same play, but to the other side to Kevin Green, who made a big third down catch to keep the drive alive. Chris is an athlete, he can make plays, but don't forget the guy on the other end, Calvin Hartley, he's been our leader all year long.”
“I just told them, 'You're down 34-0 at the half. We got a fumble recovered in the end zone and didn't play well. You can lay down and get run over or you can step up and play hard'. We challenged them. The defense didn't give up any points. They played harder. They're starting to learn. Jackson was where we are, last year. They're getting better. We want to be there next year.”
“Four plays really changed the game. The fumble on the kickoff return; a pass interference call that was the wrong call in the second quarter that would've given us the ball in scoring position; the snap hitting our kid in the face when he was in motion; and that 80-yard touchdown run. If one or two of those had gone differently, we could've been right in the game.”
“I cook what I like. Things just pop into my head. When you've been cooking so long, you know what works. When I wrote the menu, I thought about what people like.”
“It will be interesting to ... see how the ongoing pressure from fuel pricing, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, the introduction of bed products and subsequent reduction in business class seats impacts on airfare pricing.”
“Our defense kept us in the ballgame all night long. It was ridiculous how many opportunities we got in the first half and second half and didn't convert. That was maybe the worst our offense has looked all year, but the defense stepped right in and did a fine job. Our defense got burnt for 53 points and about 400 yards against U.M.S. and every week since then they've gotten better and have improved. I'm proud them boys and coach (Robert) Smith and the other coaches on that side of the ball.”
