Brian Bowers Quotations

We have a group of kids who all have good skill. It is a matter of finding the right combination and maximizing our ability.

Those five look good and are getting better.

Van Orden has really come on. He came over from soccer and has worked hard and is blossoming into a strong defensive end. Paski is, too. We don't want to try and do too much, just play assignment football. If he gets out of the pocket, he's scary.

It's very, very disappointing. The kid worked his tail off. It's just a freak thing.

If he gets out of the pocket, he is scary. The bottom line is getting to their quarterback. He can beat you with his feet, he is very accurate and he has some talented receivers (Brian Gambuzza, Greg Gillespie) who he works well with. We have to get to him, beat them up on the front lines, play aggressively and take it to them.

The guys feel bad that he cannot have the senior year he worked so hard for. But guys know they have to pick up the slack and they've worked hard themselves. They're not feeling sorry for themselves. If anything, they are focusing on picking up the slack and doing the job.
