Brad Ekwerekwu Quotations

The season looks a lot better. You have a championship in your hand, a winning record, you're not .500, and we got a lot of things accomplished despite our record. It gives a lot of young guys the sight of confidence. They were all here. They saw us win a championship. They know that in big games, big players step up. Hopefully, we can carry some of that momentum into next season.

At this time we're not necessarily just starting from scratch, but we have a lot of experience coming back.

We have to come together when one of our guys goes down, especially a leader, an older guy in the group. It's not going to be easy, but at the same time we have to come together. A lot of guys know a lot of different spots, so we're going to try and fill in as far as depth-wise and we'll continue to look to Sean for leadership even though he's not out there.

A lot of guys were really emotional this week (about) A.O., and we tried to pay tribute to him as much as possible. When it came down to it, we owe a lot to him and his family. We'll never forget him.

He's definitely aching to get back and I think this week is a great time for him to come back.

Rex Sharp went over to Aaron and put his arms crossed, stood back and said that there was nothing to take care of. He did not examine or check Aaron.
