Bob Biggs Quotations

It has been a lot of fun preparing for the game. This is one everybody has been looking forward to for a long time. There's a lot excitement around here.

I thought it was going to be a factor. I knew they had a good kicking game. I thought if we could get momentum early. They haven't scored a lot of points this year, to get an early score, I thought psychologically would have been good for us.

He's so confident in what he knows. He now has better than 20 games under his belt. You can't put a price on that, can't measure that experience. He's seen it. He's reacted to it. He's not surprised by it. That's a real calming element in the offense.

It's tough, trying to figure out how fast they are and how strong they are compared to people that we've played. There will be a feeling out process in the first quarter, for sure.

It's unfortunate the stadium is not going to be ready, but that's nobody's fault. After a while you learn to roll with the tide.

We just have to understand, we're a collection of individuals that need go down and play as hard as we can. We can't be worrying about the outcome of the game, win or lose. You play as hard you can, prepare as well you can and see what happens.

The kids' attitude is awesome. I like this group. I think they have some aspirations to do some great things.

It's not a burden you want the current players to carry. We know what we're trying to do. We made our decision. By most accounts, we're playing one of the toughest I-AA schedules in the country and we're playing with a half deck of cards because we're at half of the scholarships and loaded with lots of young players.

That's always been the nature of the teams in the league. They've earned it, every one of those teams have earned any rankings they might have, because those are three very good defensive football teams.

The intent is to teach, implement new schemes, try new techniques and come out of the spring feeling as though you have a better idea of what your talent level is like. It's fun from a coaching perspective because you don't have the pressure of a game to prepare for. You can really analyze what you're doing.
