Chris Ault Year Quotations

The biggest thing I want these guys to understand is that last year is done and gone and it's history. That is the critical factor. There is no sneaking up on people now. We gained some respect, but now we have to continue to earn respect. You can't command it.

We've got to find that competition at each spot because that is how people get better. Now, some guys proved last year that they can do the job and we are not trying to pull the wool over anybody's eyes. But guys get better when the guys behind them push them. That's the key.

The surgery he had last year was the second one he's had and it is just a problem. He is no longer playing. He's in school and he'll finish the semester but he just doesn't feel comfortable with the shoulder.

He was a freshman and he was feeling his way. As the season progressed, you could see him getting better and better. He's more mature now. He's more confident now. He's doing a great job now on his route running. You can see that he has a year under his belt. He is having an excellent spring. He really is.

He didn't make the plays last year and that is the story you can do everything right but you have to produce. He learned. He was thrown in the fire because of the injuries. He had a chance to do some things and he did some things. We need him to do more.
