Dan Hawkins Good Quotations

Got to give Oregon State a lot of credit. Got to give them credit for hanging in there. I was proud of our guys. We played much better than last week (a 38-13 loss at Georgia) -- not good enough to win, but some things to build on.

I think we're trying to spread the love around a bit and get guys involved and use guys where their talents are the best. That's the benefit of having a good team, a good well-rounded team.

We're so much about that. What I've tried to do a little bit, and part of this is for my own good because I'm very much like that, is to be able to walk away from the locker room after the game and go, 'All right. We won!'

Clearly in every contest, when you win there's confidence (and) when you lose there's a little bit of disharmony there. But we still got a good football team; we have to flush it and move on.

Ryan's leg started to come around a little bit better at the end of the week. Keating has done a good job in there, and I liked the way he's played. But as Ryan gets healthier, we'll just have to open it up to some competition and see who emerges.

We watched Wisconsin pound it on them. We felt really good about our offensive line and our running backs, and we felt we could take it to 'em in the running game.

We know he is a really good player and he's a fast and physical guy and as he gets more reps and gets more comfortable, you are going to see him be much more productive.

Fundamentally we did some good things. We've got something to build on going into the summer we'll continue to get a lot better.

(Guy) has a lot of energy, a lot of passion. He's a good coach. He'll get 'em lined up, get 'em playing hard. He's a fiery guy, and he's a very good X-and-O guy.

I'm not doing a good job right now.

There's a lot of people out there who have seen us once somewhere in a pub or heard our songs late night on radio. We'd done four years of it before we'd even released a single. It's put us in good stead.

I though he was a good player. His JC (junior college) coach was going 'Hey I got a quarterback' and I said 'yeah I know, but we don't need a JC guy.' It's good he landed on his feet.

We got spanked. Georgia is a very good football team. That had a lot to do with it.

It came down to one play against a very good football team. They made the play and we didn't. I would have loved to have a win for seniors and the effort they put forth but I told them they can hold there heads up I was proud of them.

Q is just so doggone speedy. He's one of the fastest guys on our team and to be able to get the ball in his hands with some space is a pretty good thing for our team.
