Chris Bean Quotations

His freshman year of high school was his first year of organized football and he was trying to find his way. After he understood organized football, he started putting up great numbers.

Nobody's happy about sitting around for this long. But it's what you've got to do. ... There's actually a little more practice time in a week like this than usual. It gives us a little more time to focus on the little things and do a little more individual work.

It's been kind of hard. When you lose football games, it starts to creep in your head that maybe you're not good. That's what we're trying to overcome now.

They had to find the qualities they liked next to all the institutions. If they didn't meet the criteria of the other programs then we'll go from there. Preston was really struggling with the decision down to the end. He talked with me moments before he came in here and I didn't know which way he was going.

We can't get down against good teams like that because you're not going to come back and win. We're still putting up good numbers as far as passing the ball but we need to cut down the turnovers and work on the defense.

We had three hits and had a chance to score, but that just got them out of the hole.

It gives you a comfort level that the other guys can make plays just like Preston. It makes it hard for teams if they choose to double him.

Kids are size conscious. They realize they need to get bigger to get these Division I programs to look at them.

You don't anticipate winning like that. I think it's going to be tougher Friday, but I hope not.
