He told me he wants to be able to focus on the season ahead. I think that speaks a lot about the player he is. He really cares about things and pours himself into it. He wants to be around a winning team.

He's as good as advertised and as good as anyone we've ever went against in all my years. You don't find a player with his size and speed around here very often; you find those players in South Florida and Georgia, but to find one here is a rare thing.

That first play of the game gave us a lot of confidence. We just kind of went from there.

I think what we do best right now is play defense. They're going to get some yards. They're too talented. We just can't let them get runs of 70 and 80 yards.

I certainly think our kids are think good things are going to happen when they go out on the field every game. If there is a (mental) advantage, I'm glad we have it.

They've already beaten two of the best teams in that region. They probably can't get any more confident than they are right now.
