Terry Wilczek Quotations

We're fortunate that we've earned the right to be where we're at. Now we've got prove that we belong here.

We're pretty positive and upbeat right now. We believe we played our best half of football last week against Arthur Hill.

He's good. He can scramble. They run the option with him and they use him in the shotgun formation. He makes it happen for them.

Last week we enjoyed playing in front of a large homecoming crowd at home. This week, we're going to a place where we won't have the crowd on our side. It'd be nice to ride some momentum (into the game). Realistically, we're playing a very tough opponent that's riding some momentum of their own.

That was a key play. That gave us a big lift and some momentum going into halftime. We needed to keep them out of the end zone.

We need to be able to handle good hitters and physical teams. We've got to be able to have an answer for that. I'm concerned that we need to do a better job of moving the ball.

We had a couple of turnovers, a couple of penalties and a couple of missed assignments, and that's when the game got really tight. But at the end of the game, our kids deserved some credit for rising to the occasion. I'm proud that we didn't let go of the rope. I would like to have less mistakes and I would like to execute better, but again, we're walking away with a win.

We need to get Jim (Parsons) the ball more than what we did last week, and we need to block for him. ... And we need to score some points.

We had our hands full with him last year. He's a good player. But it looks like they have a fair number of playmakers.

Even though there wasn't much difference between the two teams, we feel good about being 2-0. We might not be a good-looking 2-0, but we're still 2-0. Now we just need to make sure that we use tonight's experience to be a better football team.

Normally, it's Jimmy Parsons making the offensive line look good. Last week, it was the offensive line making Jimmy look good. It was their best game as an unit that they've had. As a head coach, you're very happy to see that.

They've been a bit of a thorn to us over the years.

They have a lot of people back (from last year). They believe they're a better football team, and they're playing with some confidence now that they have a win under their belt.

They want to be a big-play offense. It's a high-risk offense, but they're having some success with it. They want to strike with the big play.

They've showed that they can play with anybody.

They have three running backs who are very good. They've all rushed for at least 300 yards. One's a sophomore, one is a junior and one is a senior. Each of them has their own style and they're very effective.

I liked the way the kids prepared for this week.

... I didn't see any letdown on our part.
