Fisher DeBerry Football Quotations

I don't know what else you would have liked as a football fan, although I didn't enjoy this game.

I thought we did a good job against Kyle Bell the first half. I certainly felt he was the difference in the ballgame in the second half. That's the first time our football team has got knocked off the ball this year. We certainly got knocked off the line of scrimmage in the second half by their offensive line.

We just want to win a football game. You got to face reality of where we are. We're playing right now for the pride of the academy, the lightning bolts we proudly wear on the side of our helmets, for a winning season and position in the conference. I don't know anymore that you can play for.

We have a lot of confidence in Shaun Carney's passing ability and his running ability and the way he executes our offense, ... Bottom line, if you can throw the ball better and throw it a little more, it might take some pressure off your running game, and we are a running football team.

We prepared very well and I thought our guys were ready to play. Obviously, TCU was ready to play and they played a fine football game.

What was disappointing for our football team was the number of penalties we got. It was very, very uncharacteristic of Falcon football. Penalties will take away your momentum quicker than anything in the world.

It's up to us to go out and play 60 minutes of the kind of football that I think this football team is capable of playing. . . . They've got some great players, but I think we've got some great players, too.

The offensive line has played well. Coach (Pete) Hurt has done a great job with them. To me, the hardest place to learn to play in college football is in the offensive line. A lot of people just think it's pushing and shoving, but it's a lot of skill and a lot of exactness, a lot of technique and a lot of precision. We've done a good job.

Their defense had 11 Afro-American kids on their team and they were a very, very good defensive football team. It just seems to me that Afro-American kids can run very, very well.

I'm not going to answer that until I evaluate the film. He certainly did a great job of rallying our football team.

I most disappointed in our football team in the number of penalties. That was very uncharacteristic of Falcon football. We had a breakdown in all three areas of the game. We didn't kick the ball very well. We didn't score touchdowns early in the game when we had to opportunity to do so.

He sends them a letter expressing his appreciation to them for their inspiration, guidance and encouragement for him being at the academy. It is not a motivational ploy to try to get our football team excited to play our opponent. If you're not excited about playing Wyoming then you are brain dead.
