Shane Patrick Kids Quotations

Our kids are getting excited. The first home game is coming up and the community is getting excited as well. I don't want us to get too exited on a Tuesday, I want it to build up for Friday night. I think we're right where we need to be.

A lot of it comes down to blocking. We've got to get the job done with the offensive line and handling the ball. We had some kids injured and some kids that were in positions they haven't played before, but they've got to step up. We have to learn to play and we're going to go through some growing pains like that.

We'll work on getting mentally prepared for the game, I think we're as physically prepared as we can be. I think we're in pretty good shape. Our guys who are young and having to play are stepping up. Our kids know what to do, they know what to expect. It's just a matter going out and executing every Friday night. I think our program is in good shape. Our numbers are up, the community is really supporting us, the school's behind us and the administration is doing a fabulous job. The odds are in our favor to go out and play well.
