Henry Mason Good Quotations

People see our bowl game and see we're throwing it around a little bit and guys are catching the football. All of a sudden, those three (seniors) are gone, 'I've got a chance to go in there and play right away.' That's always a good thing.

He's just very energetic. He said to me early on that he wanted to be a head coach who was going to be a good recruiter. He was a good recruiter as an assistant. We used to bump heads all the time in Florida and when you went against him you knew you had to - quote, unquote - bring your 'A' game to beat him. He brings a passion to the recruiting part of it. I like that he is a guy who will get his hands dirty a little bit in the recruiting process as far as being out on the road a bunch.

We're looking for him to develop a level of consistency where we can count on him for whatever it is, try to define his role and see how far he can take it. He has some good tools and now he has his opportunity to take a step forward and we're hoping he can do that.

Brandon has been playing pretty well in a lot of different areas and, obviously, on special teams, ... His game as a receiver is starting to form up. You can see it on film. You can see that he's healthy again. He's running with speed and making some good cuts.

When you watch them on tape, ... they look like cutout paper dolls as they're backpedaling. They all look the same, and that's the way they're being coached. I'm very impressed with the things that they do, and we'll get a good indication of where we are after this weekend.
