Dale Lennon Quotations

Last year, we started to see the potential he possessed.

We'll put a full rush on the punt team to establish protection and put a little stress on the snapper.

I stressed the point at halftime that we had 110 yards in penalties and Duluth had 100 total yards of offense. I told our guys that if we kept that up, we were going to have a hard time winning the game.

Brady is in shape. He's confident in running the ball.

If you look at our numbers, the play of our quarterbacks was very impressive. They made the right reads on their passes.

In the first half we did a lot of things that were uncharacteristic of us. It was a very emotional game, and at the half, I just tried to bring everyone in check. We wanted that emotional excitement, but not to the degree that it was.

You look for guys in the 280-290 range, players who look like they can carry 300-plus comfortably, and you look for athletic ability. We do a lot of movement and run a lot more screen passes in our offense than St. Cloud does. Our linemen have to run and pull more.

We're not changing any of our goals. I'm hoping for a typical North Dakota team that plays within itself and doesn't make mistakes.

Mac Schneider went down with an injury. The first guy Tyler went against, if I remember right, was an All-American nose guard. Fortunately, we had the lead.

You have two highly competitive teams and there was a lot to play for. But we lost control of our emotions for a while. Hopefully, this will help us down the road because each game now becomes more significant.
