Larry Coker South Quotations

We pushed through (practice) pretty well today. Obviously it's hot and humid. It's going to be hot and humid in South Carolina as well. We have to be prepared and ready to give a great effort. That's what it's going to take to win the football game.

We're not going to be intimidated going into Clemson, South Carolina. We're going to take a good football team there and we're going to play well there.

But regardless of who we play, South Dakota or South Florida, we're supposed to win the game.

There's always been talent in South Florida, it just didn't stay here.

There's certainly a lot of speed coming out of South Florida. It's densely populated and there's great weather. You get year-round athletes, plus outstanding track programs help perpetuate speed.

It's more than concern. It's a real concern. I don't know if we're going to have better days than this in South Florida in August and September.

I don't want to overstate the importance of our football program to the city, but South Florida's important to us and I think we're a big part of South Florida. I hope people can enjoy just a little break from the monotony of all the terrible things that have happened.
