Tim McCarthy Ball Quotations

He hits the ball well. He?s only a sophomore, so we?re looking forward to seeing him play the rest of the year.

Both guys came up big on that play, ... Danny lofted the ball to a spot in the corner of the end zone and Jon fought his way around a defender to make the catch. It really was well executed by both players.

Size-wise, they're a lot like us and they have very athletic people in the backfield, ... Last year, we had a chance to put the game away, but we turned the ball over late and they eventually scored to tie the game. If we can limit our mistakes, we have a chance to be in most games this year.

It's nice to have Danny back and he's only going to help this team. He's not the fastest guy on the roster but he can be very dangerous with the ball in his hands because he runs the wishbone so effectively. He also takes some of the pressure off our other backs because of his ability to run.

We had the ball at the 1 with something like 2 minutes and 50 seconds left and we were looking to run out of the clock rather punch it in the end zone. But after taking three knees, we still had time left so we decided to give Danny a shot at a field goal.

We tried to play the percentages. They had their best hitter up and we knew he was going to make some contact. We chose to put him on base which gave us a play at any base. Then we got a passed ball and another walk. He left one up in the strike zone and the kid got a hold of it. We?re proud of the way we played, they just got the big hit and the big inning.
