Al Bagnoli Quotations

We're still erratic. It's somewhat to be expected -- we have a lot of coaching changes. We've tweaked some things, so we're still somewhat on a learning curve.

We were trying to replace some very talented kids. He was trying to replace the player of the year, which is never easy. Maybe our expectations were not what they should have been. I think he had a productive year, even though it was somewhat inconsistent to Mike Mitchell and Gavin Hoffman.

Bryan Walker has the most snaps and the best recall of some of the things we did.

He'll do more in terms of the development end, the fundraising end, the facilities end of it. He'll get more people involved.

He is really a talented kid. We're still pretty young on the defensive side of the ball, and he provides some maturity, and he provides some leadership that we need with we're dealing with such a young group of kids.

Kyle was a remarkable young man, a true scholar-athlete, an ambassador for Penn, a tremendous teammate and leader on and off the field, as well as a caring and outstanding brother. His loss will be felt for a long time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this time.

We're cautiously optimistic. We think we're going to have a lot of skill on this team, but we have some unproven guys that we hope will perform.

While it is a shame, a smaller facility will suffice for now. It's not like the stands are filled during games anyway.

We've got a chance to be a decent defense. We're not there yet.

You never know. I don't want to take anything away from Harvard. On that day they were obviously the better team. The extent that we were hurt by Pat not being there, it's hard to gauge. Obviously, you like to have your starting quarterback healthy for that game.

Any time you get a different color jersey, it's beneficial and it also give you an idea of where you are.
