Brian VanGorder Quotations

We?re making a lot of the same mistakes which is kind of disappointing. Offensively we have some guys who can make big plays. We are getting better in compartments but need to do a better job putting everything together. That comes with experience and better communication.

We're not going to turn it into a fair. We are only bringing in the players that we want.

Obviously this is an exciting day for myself and my staff.

I think we're fortunate we had the opportunity to get him. And for the opportunity to be at Georgia Southern, he's very fortunate.

I saw missed opportunities, I saw a missed tackle for a possible loss become a big play, and I saw missed assignments. They all equaled bad. In the end it's a bad sign.

We've had a great offense here at Georgia Southern, one that did not require a tight end. What we will do here offensively will require a tight end and we would like to have at least four on the roster, so this is a good start for us. It was definitely a position of need.

Defensively we weren't able to finish. There were a couple of times we could have had a tackle for a loss but the offense made a play and it ended in a long gain.

A lot of our young players got a lot of reps. That will benefit them come fall. I'm encouraged with our overall effort. We're seeing good enthusiasm and good tempo on the field but we are still making far too many mistakes.
