Getting the same three guys lined up every day and every week is our first goal in the secondary. Ray Lamb needs to be healthy so he can be the leader.

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.

We have two excellent running backs. Both have game experience and have proven that they can make plays. We have to find a way to utilize them at the same time. Because of that, we will be in more multiple sets. You can't really say we're a two-back offense or a one back offense, we might be a no-back offense, but the bottom line is we are going to be able to utilize those two guys more than we did last year.
