Brian Kelly Game Quotations

They don't put themselves in a position to give up big plays, although I think Coach Ross would be the first to admit that they're probably not as efficient on offense as he would like at this point in the season. It's a team that's obviously looking for its first win. They played Boston College and UConn and took Iowa State right down to the wire and Baylor. Obviously, they feel like if they're going to win a game it has to be against Central.

It's very important for this team to get off to a good start, ... This is a big game on the road. We have to get some confidence, get a big win, come back home and prepare to get another.

If we are going to get the national recognition for our program we have to play some of these games. And we have to win some of them. There is no point in playing these games if we don't want to win.
