Pat Monroe Quotations

He's been in our program for four years. He's shared time and been on the field with some pretty good running backs.

We can compete, but I have no idea. I guess we'll probably find out on Saturday against Greensburg Central Catholic.

I think it's very anxiety-provoking to everybody involved. The sense of not knowing things leads to a degree of uncertainty. It's certainly not enjoyable to anybody going through this process -- kids, parents, staff.

You know you're not going to have all the bases covered, but you have to concentrate on the strengths you have. I've had some good players every year I've been here, big-play kids that allow you to be a little more creative offensively and on special teams. But people tend to find an answer for us defensively, especially power-oriented teams that find where we've tried to stash our weaknesses.

It was unfortunate the way things turned out. We wanted to see how the team matched up and how much we progressed. We were going to play a top quality opponent.

If a guy goes down at this level, it's like you lose five guys because you lose a guy on offense, defense, on both your special teams and on the bench. One injury will devastate you, and two will end it for you.

I think the sky is the limit with him. All you had to do is see him. Potentially, he could be a very, very good college football player.

We've played in rainstorms and monsoons and things like that, but never something like this.

Somewhere in that scope of things there was a breakdown. Specifically where, I don't know. It's a tremendous disappointment.

They're getting a complete receiver. He can get off the line of scrimmage in press coverage. He catches the ball at its highest point. He's an excellent downfield blocker. He runs excellent routes and has great hands coming back to the ball. There's no weakness in his game at the receiver position.
