Robert Casto Quotations

We got off to good start with the big plays early, and then we just kind of persevered the rest of the way, ... Bath played well, and their kids played hard. They always play hard. We've had some great games against Bath over the years, and tonight, we're happy to leave the field with a 'W.'

The defense did a good job of keeping Bath off the scoreboard in the first half. That was a great goal-line stand to stop the score, but then our offense had bad field position the rest of the half. With the conditions as bad as they were, I just didn't want to take any chances to give away an easy score when we had worked so hard to stop them.

We would have liked to have scored in the second half, but 31 points, hey we'll take it.

We had some sophomores on the field a couple years ago when Bath hung 50 on us. Those kids are seniors now and they remembered that, and I think that served as motivation. No way did they want Bath scoring 50 again on this field.

For the first time out of the gate, I'm pleased with that performance. It's just one game and we've still got a long way to go, but that was an efficient effort. Our backs ran hard, and when you move the ball like we did, you know the offensive line is doing its job. On the other side of the ball, when you get a shutout, you've done a pretty good job there.
