Brady Hoke Quotations

We'd like to score more touchdowns. But as a team we feel very confident when we get in (a field goal) situation that he's going to go out there and follow through and try to help his team win.

I told the kids in the locker room, I was proud of the way they hung in there. They still believed.

We thought Charles gave us the best opportunity to run the ball, and that's what we went with.

We had poor coverage and they took advantage of it. It was downhill from there.

He was really recruited by the other staff. But he had made a commitment and this was where he really wanted to go to school. We're glad he kept to that commitment. He's been a bright spot in that class. He came in here as a true freshman and beat out a fifth-year senior.

There aren't any secrets. We got beat by a good team. We got outplayed and everything. They are a good football team, real good football team.

It will be nice to be home after playing four of our first five games on the road. But we have a great opponent coming in.

It'll be exciting to go play Toledo there on TV.

We've got lights. We'd better use them. There's an atmosphere for the night games. It gives people a chance to do family things during the day. Hopefully, the students get cranked up for it. I know our kids enjoy it.

You can't afford that, but we have to go in and worry about playing our best football. We have to execute and not play dumb football.
