Barry Alvarez showed a lot of class in the fourth quarter, playing everybody. They did a super job executing and we did a horrible job.

He's really timid, but the main thing this class is doing is building his confidence, ... Now he's taking control.

We were in Philadelphia when Manager Pat shifted me from third to short, and right off the bat, I knew I had found my dish. Footwork was more a part of the new position than it had been at third. I suddenly felt I had sprouted wings. A world of new possibilities opened for me.

Until Temple has a winning season and has some success there's always going to be a stigma that you can't win here. Things have changed so much that it's really unfair. But it's still going to be there until we win.

This game was scheduled I think eight years ago. I don't think it would be my choice, but a lot of games on our schedule wouldn't be my choice.

What's good for Temple football is victories. Being the best you can be is important and that equals success. But I think for this program to take a step forward, we have to win games. I don't want to put a number on it, but it has to be a significant improvement over what we have achieved so far.
