Kyle Schweigert Quotations

Signing day is an exciting time of the year, and once again, we think we have an exciting class coming to UMD. It's a little different than my first two classes. This year's class is not quite as large. We were a little more specific in the positions we were going to recruit early.

I don't think it's any easier. I really don't. My first couple years as head coach, I ran around selling a dream, and I'm still selling a dream, only there is a little more substance to it now because we've taken a step in the right direct. But it's still just as hard of work to close the deal. And any time you relax, I don't think you'll do very well. You have to work just as hard as before.

I think we learned a lot tonight, especially in the first half. Good teams are going to hurt you when you make mistakes.

We have a few more guys missing than what we had hoped. But, you know, we graduated a lot of guys up front, and that's our No. 1 concern right now, is developing the offensive line.

Ted made some good decisions and a few mistakes, but mostly he showed good composure to lead the offense.

Our expectations are to keep getting better through the non-conference schedule and then to compete for a conference title. We will compete, hard.

Eventually, we want our whole returning team -- and will have our whole returning team -- in town for the summer. One of the ways you get better as a football team is developing the guys you have within your program, and one of the best ways of doing that is in the summer.
