Charlie Coe Last Quotations

I was pleased. We got the guys we knew were coming and didn't lose anybody at the last minute. I think we're all pretty excited about this group.

One of our focuses with the high school players was recruiting local and in-state kids. We lost a lot of our local players after last season and wanted to build those numbers back up. That helps generate a lot of interest in the community.

We're lacking in the size department. Big linemen are at a premium right now. We went after several guys during this last recruiting season, but all of the ones with decent size were snapped up by Division I schools. There just weren't that many to be had. I guess everybody is facing the same problem.

Last year, when these receivers would catch passes, they would take them the distance. This year, we stopped them. That was the difference in the ballgame. When we had the opportunity to make a tackle, we made it.
