Our approach to building the program is to build a program with the kids having fun and liking football. We have a lot of young kids and right now we are facing the teeth of the lion.

I think our biggest priority as a football team is to keep focused, make sure the kids are having fun while they're working hard. It's a new challenge and a new adventure every week.

I think the kids are just excited about Pitt football. Some remember back to when Pitt was great, and their parents certainly do. I think they feel we can go there again.

It was fun watching kids play. It was really positive to have the kids have fun today, because football is drudgery. It?s hot and you get hurt... We tried to create some atmosphere. We want to create school spirit. We have a great school and it was a wonderful crowd.

As coaches, our intensity rubs off on these players. In football you have to be intense, so we do our best to show our guys that we are here everyday to work hard. We can't just show up on game day with intensity, it has to be there every time we step on the field, especially practice.

We're going to sling the ball around and have some fun. This is fast forward football.
