Bobby Petrino Quotations

Hopefully, he'll have some impact right away. Defensive line is one of the biggest areas we needed to address. We needed to replace some of that production. Getting some defensive linemen with speed and size was very significant. And we were very fired up to the good news about Heath this morning. He also has the opportunity to contribute early.

Brian has come along well. He's way ahead of where I thought he'd be right now.

Brandon would talk to a wall, ... if he could get it to talk back to him.

It was really positive, ... And that was great to see.

Brian threw the ball real well. He was very accurate today and I thought he did his best job of reading and taking what the defense gave us because they played us a little bit different than we thought they would coverage-wise, dropped guys a little deeper, blitzed us more on first down. So they had a pretty good plan coming in and we had to adjust a little bit.

It's hard to explain how well he's played. He just keeps going. I hope he can keep it up.

It's really important for us to keep the best player in the city of Louisville here every year. I see (Henderson) right in line with Michael Bush, Brian Brohm, Mario Urrutia and Earl Heyman. He continues that tradition. His movement and maturity give him an opportunity to compete early for a spot to play. He's got an advantage that he'll be here all summer working out.

They're going to try to run the ball at us. They like their fullback they have, and they like their big running backs. They're a physical team, so we're going to have to try to shut down the run and force them to throw the ball.

No, no, we don't like having the bye week right after the opener,
