Mark Snyder Guy Quotations

We felt it was in our best interest to go with the guy who had the most recall to where Larry Kueck, our offensive coordinator, could get him on the side and say, 'Hey, Jimmy, you know, we're getting this, this and this,' and Jimmy would have some recall from past years. Bernie will definitely play, though.

I am especially honored that I get to coach on the other side of a guy I really respect. He is one of the coaches that as a young coach you look up to. He has done a fantastic job and they are a very well-coached team. We will have our hands full on Saturday.

We don't know exactly what they're going to do. If they stay with what they've been doing, Bernie will be fine. If they don't, then we felt that Jimmy would be our guy to start with so that we'd have some recall. Once the game starts, we'll see what they do and kind of adjust from there.

We just felt like it was in our best interest to go with a guy who had the most recall, ... Bernie will play, though.

Absolutely he needs to have a good spring. He's a big guy and it's an important spring for him.

Come fall, if someone gets hurt at (weak side linebacker) is it better to put in a freshman, or move another guy over with experience and move someone up from (the middle), where we have depth? It's two-fold. We're creating depth and Matt becomes a better player.
