Plus Quotations | Page 4

Physically, we matched Rutland today and any time you can do that it's a plus because they're a very physical team. What they did better than us is that they were able to move the ball better on offense. They hit the open guy. We've got to cut, we've got to move and we've got to communicate better. That's the glaring thing we need to work on.

I think our team matches up better against Free State. Plus the girls have that revenge factor.

I think Renteria always has been one of the premier defensive players, plus we also talk about his clutch hitting. We were concerned about his back a little and he's had some weight problems sometimes. But the minute he was available, we hopped on it. It took the front office about three days to get Renteria ... but we had to do what it took to get him. He's that good.

I think frankly the Fed might even raise rates maybe 25 basis points, but that should be it, I think, for the rest of the year.

So certainly the ingredients for a good strong summer and early fall rally are in place.

I think for the most part, winning is always more of an advantage.

I didn't feel any better about it (last year). I can guarantee you that.

It hasn't been agreed to yet. We're still working on that. But the maintenance fees that we're going to receive are going to help us improve the stadium downstream. Plus the fact that we would not be out of pocket for any of the day-to-day cost associated with putting on the game.

I thought of the (Academy) bus, but I don't know what their prices are. Plus the price of gas went up a lot.

I thought just the management of the game, making adjustments on the run and executing on both sides of the ball as well as playing all the young guys, I think all those things are good. I think just the way they prepared for a game like this and went out and executed it. Just a lot of things were built on. Plus we got some momentum going into next week.
