Against Quotes
We have a target on our backs now. The way we looked at (defending national champion) LSU last year we went out to prove to them we were good enough to beat them now, game one against Georgia Tech, they're going to look at us with a target on our backs. Coaches will have their teams hyped to beat us. We have to work harder than they do to be prepared.

Against Quotes
We are 0-4 in league right now and are beginning to put our backs against a wall in terms of playoff position. It is very important for us to go out and perform well and work hard to get a victory versus Monroe on Friday. We have a goal of getting a home play game. That means we will have to finish third or higher. So we have some work to do, but I have total confidence that we will be there at the end of the year.

Bit Quotes
You don't realize sometimes what putting the puck on net does. Sometimes defensemen turn their backs and maybe look at the puck, or it gets the defensive team moving and maybe a little bit confused. If you get it to the net, a lot of things can happen. It's the simplest thing, but sometimes it does get overlooked.

Best Quotes
We don't know what Connecticut plans to do with him offensively. The flip side is their line is healthy and they have some of the best running backs in the conference and perhaps in the country. I think they're going to do what they do in the run game because they're very good at it. What they end up doing in the pass game, that's probably yet to be seen. We need to prepare for everything.

Against Quotes
We don't mind being a little bit lower and a little underestimated. It presents a different challenge. It motivates us to step up. Our backs are against the wall right now. We want people to think we aren't as good as last year that way we can come out and show them who we really are.
-
Ask Quotes
We don't ask people to run differently, ... Runners are runners. I never try to curtail a runner. Our offense has got enough plays that within the running play a ball carrier has a chance to express his ability. I think Willie has gotten more comfortable with the plays we've run. He's had a chance to watch some pretty good backs in front of him be patient on certain plays, hit it on certain plays. I think he's earned this opportunity if indeed Jerome can't go. I'm not concerned; I'm rather excited.

Against Quotes
We wouldn't have it any other way, that's the way it's been all year. If we're going to go to the next round, we've got to scratch for it just like we've scratched all year. And we've got a group of guys here that obviously have shown they've got what it takes to scratch it out when our backs are against the wall.

Abandoning Quotes
We're not abandoning the resistance for the government. We're putting the government in a position that strengthens and backs the Palestinian people when it comes to resistance. Our weapons will remain in our hands and so will the weapons of all the Palestinian people, with all its forces - security, military and popular forces, to confront any possible new aggression.
-
Contract Quotes
We didn't feel it was appropriate for him to be playing for the league minimum. This shows that if a player comes in and performs better than expected, we're willing to tear up the contract and pay him what he's worth. This puts him up there with the good starting running backs in the league.
-
Converted Quotes
Without the services of Davenport, we have to be able to count on our other two backs as well. Tony Fisher has been a role player for us in the past and has been an excellent player for us, particularly on third down, and has converted many of those on draws, screens and catches he has made.
-
Blocked Quotes
We've got things to work on, no doubt about it, but I thought offensively, if we don't have a big holding call on (Brent Phillips') long touchdown run, if we don't turn it over, they really didn't stop us all night. We executed. We run blocked real well, our backs ran well, and our quarterbacks did a good job just executing what we were supposed to do.
-
Above Quotes
We had some young guys with their backs against the wall. We got a bad call that never should have happened. They were not going to let someone come in here and steal the national championship, which is what the referee tried to do. We had several guys perform above what was expected and they showed a lot of heart.

Bet Quotes
We've got 119 I-A schools. Out of 119 of us, I'll bet you 100 are fighting an attrition battle. You've probably got 19 lucky teams. Boy, they're lucky. They've kept their offensive line healthy all year, they've kept their running backs healthy, and they're probably playing for Southern Cal and Texas.
