I love having that kind of competition and that kind of talent because obviously that means we have a chance to be pretty good in that area of our football team.

He was not anything like what was portrayed to me by several people. ... What I found was a young man who had a passion for football. He was willing to work. He was willing to obey orders and discipline but needed direction.

I felt like I had a good chance, but when you get up here, the competition is the best in the state.

It's a chance for each competitor to recognize their favorite athlete of the competition whether or not that person ends up on the podium.

We think we have a chance. It's been a definite step up in competition. There are so many good teams out there at this level. I am going to try and have the best year I can and then move to Texas. From there we will just have to see how it goes.

With the talent we have, we should have never been in that position. There should have never been a chance of us missing the playoffs.
