Bill Cubit Quotations

We are really excited about the incoming student-athletes. We addressed the wide receiver position; we addressed the tight end and running back deficiency we have. We still have some holes to fill, but I really think we brought in a great quality of class in terms of academics, character and talent.

We had a ton of chances to win, but just didn't finish. They got it done and we didn't; give them a lot of credit. We had a lot of outstanding individual performances, but it just didn't work out.

He's a little rusty because he has been out for almost a year. But he's throwing the ball as well as he ever has.

He's a really good quarterback. It really helps him when you can run the ball with the play action to suck in the safeties. What really killed us was Toledo converting 12 of 17 third-down plays. We had him stopped a few times but he scrambled and made big plays.

It's tough, it's tough. He's the best kid I ever had. ... God's got different plans for different people.

We really haven't had anybody step up and take his place.

We're going to be a young team. We've got two seniors on offense, and we'll probably go to two tight-end sets and do some different things to take advantage of our strengths. We're going to be big and physical up front, so we should be able to run the ball.

For Greg, there was questions about his speed but he solved that at the combine.
