Mark Mangino Quotations

I think we're coming around just fine, and we'll use this week to find out what we need to shore up.

These are the guys that laid the foundation.

Our players are well-conditioned. But you can see that the most conditioned teams have an advantage as the games go on.

Blocking and pass receiving are going to be important for Jon to sharpen up. Even though he makes good plays for us, there is still a lot more involved than just running with the ball under your arm.

It was a good day's work here. It was beautiful weather; a great facility and I really like the way our kids practiced. It was intense, and we're finding out a little about ourselves.

We were informed last week his waiver was denied. However, we are putting together an appeal process. We feel like we have some additional information that we did not submit the first time, which would probably support him and give him a chance to win the appeal.

I think we are going to be pretty decent on defense. We have more speed on defense now than any time we have been here. You can see the defensive line is a pretty hard-nosed bunch of guys.

When people talk about our linebackers, he's seldom mentioned. But he's the consummate team player. He doesn't care.

I'm impressed with this Florida Atlantic team. They are going to win their share of games. We knew it was going to be a tough game.

I told Brian, 'I'm looking for you to start, finish and win the game.
