Al Lavan Quotations

Bryan recently informed me that he will not return to the university this fall due to personal reasons. He said he wanted to return home to California to be with his family and girlfriend.

Peter has shown through spring football, the summer and the early fall, he has been remarkably consistent with his distance. We're excited about that and keeping him in the groove.

And the fullback was not going to be a big part of the offense. Jarrod ran well and was a tough guy. We put him on defense to utilize his speed.

It's one step toward our ultimate goal. We are very pleased with the effort level our team displayed.

To the extent that you know a little more about your opponent, that's good. How we match the intensity and skill is the real key getting where we need to go.

Obviously it's tough to lose your starting quarterback prior to the season, but we will make adjustments and move forward.

To get signed with that type of team, they might be potentially more suited to the things he does best.

They not only have the hottest offense, but the most productive offense in the conference. They run an (option) offense that's different from what everybody else in the conference does and they do it with good skill players. When you have very skilled players who can improvise, that creates a great challenge for your defensive unit.

We tried to pinpoint what we do best. We said at halftime we wanted to win the second half.

Very seldom do most of them (young quarterbacks) come out and be spectacular. We tried to put him in as few multiple decision-making positions as possible.
