Brian Cross Good Quotations

I thought our offensive line did a good job of handling those fronts.

We're harder to defend this year because we're throwing the ball with more success, we have some good receivers and the line is protecting well.

We think we have a chance to be pretty good. Good teams execute, and good teams overcome adversity. At this point, we haven't faced any adversity or had to play from behind. So we'll see. I'm still feeling my way through this team. I think they are still trying to figure out how good they can be, too.

It's been going on here forever. You hope guys ... look at what happened just last year and see where they are. There were guys last year who were good enough to have an opportunity, but didn't get to walk in their freshman year and play. It's something we talk about, but not in a demeaning way.

Their offensive line comes off the ball, and I didn't know if we could handle them. They did a good job of blocking last year, and we couldn't stop them. We stopped them on offense.
