Brian Cross Last Quotations

We're very physical, and that's something we've carried over from last year. It's something we pride ourselves on. ... I like the way our defense played the entire game.

It's been going on here forever. You hope guys ... look at what happened just last year and see where they are. There were guys last year who were good enough to have an opportunity, but didn't get to walk in their freshman year and play. It's something we talk about, but not in a demeaning way.

We're playing a team that beat us, 22-0, last year. I don't think we're going to get complacent. The game will be in their house, it'll be our first road trip, and we'll be ready to play.

Their offensive line comes off the ball, and I didn't know if we could handle them. They did a good job of blocking last year, and we couldn't stop them. We stopped them on offense.
