Lorenzo Booker Guys Quotations

Oh man. It has really surprised me. Obviously, we knew the potential these young guys had, but I'd be lying if I said I thought they'd come in and make this impact this early. Especially with these receivers.

For somebody to say it's not a big deal, I think they'd be lying. This is like a once-in-a-lifetime deal, and it's not going to happen for another century. We won't be alive, because you have to coach a long time to do what these guys have done.

The main thing was I just wanted to be able to do things that guys like (Texas quarterback) Vince Young and (Southern California tailback) Reggie Bush did, which was to put the team on their backs and carry them. Because I feel like I can do that.

The main thing is I really want to do what guys like Vince Young and Reggie Bush did, which was really put their team on their back and carry them to the promised land. I feel like I can do that.

I feel like the team just gets closer and closer every year. Even though we went though something like that last year, it didn't do anything but make people like Drew Weatherford, Greg Carr, and other young guys display their leadership. It really gets you excited about the next year.

This is a game that could possibly never happen again. You have to coach a long time to get as many victories as these two guys have. At coach Bowden's age, you never know what he's going to do on any given day and you never know which game is going to be his last, so I want to be a part of the team that sends him packing as a happy man.

We've got a lot of weapons, particularly at wide receiver, as everybody can see. We feel like we're going to be the most dangerous if those guys are on the field. ... We really want teams to understand we're much more than Leon and Lorenzo running the football.
