Joe Pannunzio Quotations

Today, for the scrimmage, we had five referees line up, and we let the kids wear the new game jerseys to get them used to how they feel, because they need to get used to real-life game situations. Our main focus was to get through the scrimmage healthy, which we did.

The expectation level is very, very high. The thing that impresses me the most is the type of kids we have.

We're going to have to be ready to play because it looks like Denver's got a really good team up there. I think they have a better defense than Mississippi State does, so it will be a big challenge.

We're going to have a two-a-day, but it's going to be academic. We're going to study two times today.

Nick's a great player, and he made a big difference for us (Saturday). But we've got a lot of great players on this team. This is going to be one of those years where you have a lot of guys who are going to have big games.

I am excited about the tradition here at Miami and the opportunity to be part of the Hurricane football family.
