We brought a lot of first?and second?year guys out. It was certainly good to get a look at them.

But he was a second-year guy on campus and a first-year starter, and those things are very natural. To me, the whole key is his attitude and that's been excellent.

We're just rotating guys through,

The guys never hung their heads; they never got discouraged.

The guys can sense now the game is in front of them. Both teams, I'm sure, feel the same way.

Shonn's probably a bigger, stronger runner than we've had in six years here. I was a little concerned a year ago when I heard he was heavier at Milford. I wasn't sure that was good weight, but it looks like it's pretty good.
