Rocky Long Guys Quotations

People wonder sometimes whether we educate these guys because a guy slips up and makes a mistake. Well, we do extensive education. We cover steroids, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, domestic relations. We do extensive education with these guys, more than the student body gets and probably more than the general population ever gets. But for whatever reason, these guys are under more scrutiny, so we have to try to educate them.

Usually you can get a feel for them by the way they look and their personalities. There are some classic symptoms that can be easy to spot. There are some guys who probably hide it well.

The defense continues to improve, and we're seeing some guys start to step up. I'm just not confident when it comes to stopping the spread offense. It's a really tough offense to deal with no matter who runs it.

It's very exciting for us, as a coaching staff, to have so many guys get invited to the combine. That's never happened before and is a compliment to the work we've done here. That would have been unbelievable five years ago, but we've made a lot of progress and these guys have earned it.

In my opinion Utah, last year, could have played with any of those guys and had a legitimate chance to beat them. I'm guessing that none of those guys wanted to play them either.
