Gary Pinkel Guys Quotations

I told the guys at halftime, let's have the greatest comeback in Independence Bowl history.

We had a touchdown called back, but we fought through that. We got first down going in and had a huge penalty on that and we still fought back. So there was a lot of stuff my guys overcame.

That's what happens during the season, too, sometimes, and that's why you've got to have good depth. I think we have pretty good depth. Marcus was having a great spring until he turned his ankle. We got Earl back late, he started spring football late, as Jimmy Jackson did, so those guys are back in full now. Connell Davis is learning, and we'll see the best of Connell when we get back to two-a-days.

They did some good things with the top two guys out. There's going to be a lot of competition, so let it continue when we come back in August.
