Sam Jacobs Quotations

We have a more offensive-minded team with more weapons this year. Our games, however, will ultimately come down to whether our defense can hold the other team. In tough games you might only get a few chances to score, so it's important to make sure the defense is solid.

We don't know what to expect. We hope people put their differences aside and have respect for each other.

Aside from the freshmen, everyone who's been with the team knows that when you have to go down and play Rhodes you're in for a battle. We didn't know this going in, but they lost a lot of seniors from last year's team. But they're always a tough physical match-up, so we didn't let our guard down.

It would be great if we could get a good turnout for the game and build on that.

Any time you lose a player like Colin it hurts. But we all have confidence in Matt and he should do a great job. He worked hard for two years under Colin and as the year goes on he'll continue to improve and build up confidence not only with his physical abilities but also in terms of leadership and organizing the defense.
