Bobby Petrino Time Quotations

Most of the time in February, everybody thinks they have the best class they've ever had. But we won't know until we get them here in August and see them. Certainly the way they rank them and the way we feel about them, it's our best class top to bottom. But that's always yet to be seen.

We hope (our home-field advantage) is really big. That's what we want, ... We want to get where it is a real tough place to come in to play. Our guys are excited about it. It is our first time at home and it is going to be a good crowd. It's going to be loud.

We have another challenging schedule that our players, coaches and fans will enjoy. We play at Kansas State for the first time and we have Kentucky, Miami and West Virginia at home for our fans. It's going to be a tough schedule, but I know our players will be excited about what's in front of them.

Any time you get up in the morning and get started it's easier, ... It's easier on your stomach, that's for sure.

That momentum is something that's hard to explain. But we've seen both sides of it. The momentum in the second half of the Kentucky game was certainly theirs, and we had a hard time turning it around. Today, they started out, and then we started making big plays. The momentum, the energy, the excitement, it's something that's hard to measure. But I was certainly glad to see it.
