JJ Simmons Quotations

I remember them coming to our place (in 2003) and beating us in a close game. You saw them go up and us go down. It helps us knowing if they can do it we can do it.

As the game goes on, guys are starting to get a better feel of the game and the situations. In our second year now, Martin (O'Donnell) and I have a better feel, and we're getting after people a little more. Basically, the communication between the players has really improved a lot, even since our scrimmages.

They come out low and they are aggressive. They like to get in the backfield and penetrate. It will be a great test for us.

A good team like that will jump on that and take more advantage of it than a team like San Jose State did. We just want to settle down, get all the jitters out of the way and play football.
