Mike Curry Good Quotations

(St. Edward) beat us off the ball on the dives, we couldn't defend the perimeter, we couldn't knock down a pass, but other than that it was a pretty satisfactory day. I'm not mincing words. That's what I saw and that's what I was watching for two and a half hours out here. We've got to get better on defense. We're not very good at it.

We could have thrown the ball in the second half ... but if you can't stop the other team you can't give them any extra snaps. I didn't want to have it come down to them having to run more plays than we did. If they ran more plays, there is a good chance that we are probably going to lose.

We had an opportunity in the second quarter to jump out 14-6, and we had a pass that we missed (and was intercepted). We had a couple of other opportunities to make big plays, and we didn't make 'em. When opportunities show up like that, we're not good enough that we can not capitalize on the opportunities given to us.

They're team speed is much better than ours, but that's a given; everybody is faster than we are. We just didn't give a very good account of ourselves tonight.

I'm sure they have had better teams, but that's the best line I've seen them have in a long time. People were saying that they were down, and that their line isn't as good as it's has been. That's all crap; they're tough.

They impressed me. They're hard-nosed kids. They're how I want our kids to be. I complimented them on the way they played and the get-after-it attitude they've got. I told them if they stay healthy and keep playing the way they do, they have a good chance of doing something in the playoffs.
