Brad Vanneman Ram Quotations

I feel like we are getting more movement up front this year, but obviously we are not getting it to the point that the backs are comfortable to ram it in there. It's a trust relationship between the line and the running backs. He's got to trust that the holes will be there, and we've got to trust that when the holes are there he's going to hit them.

He'll return this program back to the feared '90, '91 style of the game. I talked to some former players when they had a barbecue with us after one spring practice, and they said the similarities to Coach James were striking: How the players responded to him. The respect he had. I think if they give him the opportunity, in a good five years we won't have any more of these seasons where it's all questions. I think it will be all answers.

It was just a tough time, and there's an uneasy feeling you get when you don't know what's going on. The unease crept around our program for a good two or three years.
