Doug Odum Quotations

They're a good team. It's tremendous. This team is living off the ghost from last year. They really didn't know how good they were. This win just legitimizes what we're doing. I think that we have the potential to be better than last year. We're just taking one game at a time.

We were kind of cruising with everybody healthy, waiting for the other shoe to drop. We lost a few in the game and we lost a few in practice on Monday. Being a small school, we don't have the numbers to fill those gaps.

They've always been hard hitters and they are well coached. We have to be on our best game. We can't take them for granted. They wouldn't be in the Top 10 if they weren't a good team. They are improving steadily. They don't have the size we have, but we have a 260-mile trip and it is about 8,000 feet in elevation. We have our work cut out for us.

We had to be physical with them. I told the team at halftime that in order for us to win this game it was going to take hard work.
