Rich Brooks Good Quotations

Maurice gives us an option as a big back with athletic ability who also has good receiving skills. His basketball success in high school indicates his great athletic ability.

Hayden Lane has played some good games for us. We are not giving up on him. We need better production, particularly from the right tackle.

He's a good football player. He'll probably play a little more.

He was doing a good job for us.

We just have some good young skill guys and I think we're going to be able to continue to make some good plays,

I think Andre responded from some tough things that happened from him and he did some good things,

I still feel very good about our team. I still think we're going to be a much-improved football team, ... We can talk about it all we want. Now we have to go out and prove it.

I thought he did a good job protecting the ball this week, ... And he made some really nice throws.

I thought we had a pretty good team when we played Louisville, ... but injuries are something we have to deal with, and we're not dealing with it very well.

You look at the tight ends we had out here practicing. We had four guys who have never taken a snap, and I promise you we're going to be pretty good at tight end.

Tim will get more comfortable, ... He's a great talent, but he's a freshman. He'll be a good punter, and he'll learn from it. He was nervous, and I can't say that I blame him. I was nervous, too.

We definitely need a pass rush. IU throws well and they've got a good line to protect them.

Bo played a great football game, ... He tackled, he covered, he played his heart out. I'd like more of (the tackles) not to get to him, but it's good when he's flying around and getting to the football, and not only did he tackle, he put some hits on people.

Fidler did some good things for a while, but he's got to get in the weight room this summer and strengthen his upper body. He's clearly behind the other two (quarterbacks).

A lot of good players come out of Kentucky. He's doing a good job. He will pull the ball down and run, too.

This guy is a big-time player. I think you are going to see this every game out of him. We've had a hard time blocking him all spring. Myron is very instinctive, very strong and he can run. That's a pretty good combination.

I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.

It's probably pretty well-timed. From a physical standpoint, it's a good opportunity to get people freshened up.

The last six years I was (at Oregon), we were a very good football team, and since then they have only had one losing season, ... The continuity there is what turned Oregon into a consistent winner. It was nice to see that and reaffirm that we actually did know what we were doing. We did have a plan that worked and were given the time to implement that.

The last six years I was there we were a very good football team and since then they have only had one losing season,

The fans need to understand, ... that a lot of the good players we started the season with are not on our team right now and we're going with more inexperienced players.

Hopefully, we'll get in some good fundamental work and get some guys healthy. We've got some guys that need to freshen up.

They were rockin' and rollin', especially late in the fourth quarter, ... They supported us even when it wasn't looking very good for us. I think our whole team understands the importance of what our troops are doing for us right now. It was nice to have them here in the stadium.

They do a good job with the quarterback run game and with the option, ... Somebody once told me that you couldn't win in the SEC with the option, but doggone it, somebody's doing it and they're doing it pretty well.

We tried to talk him out of (quitting football). He did some real good things and I think he would have done well on the football field.

He played a great football game. He tackled, he covered. He played his heart out. I would like more of them (opposing players) not to get to him, particularly in the running game, but it is good when he's flying around and getting to the ball. Not only did he tackle, but he put hits on people and was a very physical corner. We need that.

The depth is the biggest thing I feel good about. We've got more players to choose from. And while I don't want this to happen, we're in a better position to sustain injuries than we've been in the past.
