Carroll McCray Good Quotations

I'm pleased with what we've done so far. But this is a big, big week, to see how much more we can improve. Every individual group has goals we're working on. I thought we got good work today; we picked it up more at the end in live competition. I think it's important we have segments every day where we put them in competitive situations, while working hard on our fundamentals." ()

We had a couple that couldn't get out here, but it was good to get out here and get day No. 1 under our belts. We've got a lot of spring break still in us. I saw some positive things, but I've got to see a lot more. But it was good to go ahead and get on the surface and work our way back into conditioning. We worked on our agility quite a bit and got a few things done offensively and defensively." ()

Drake is coming up next week, which will make a four-day week for us. We will have to regroup quickly. They are a good team and will offer a big challenge for us." ()

I didn't think our execution was as good today. ... Maybe camp is getting to us a little, about 10 days in with about four to go. But I just didn't think our concentration was as good. It has to be much better, much quicker." ()

They've got a really good football team. Today we got beat by the strength of an older, more experienced football team. They run through tackles on offense and come at you downhill. On defense, they have a lot of speed on the outside and pressured our young players." ()

Brandon let the post get inside him one time, but to be honest with you he played well considering. We were pleased overall with what he did. He was very physical and he is a very, very good tackler." ()

We are very excited about him. You wonder about the learning curve because they throw a lot of defenses at you, but he is focused in there. (Offensive line coach Steve Haywood) has done a good job helping him learn things and I think that has helped him get considerable playing time with that first group." ()
