I think it's exciting for everybody. I think everybody realizes what Joe has meant to the program and what capability that Joe has.
ball footing game likelihood players rolling sliding
We thought we would get the game started, but the ball wasn't rolling and the players were sliding and couldn't keep their footing and the likelihood was that someone would get injured.

Her maturity has really stepped up a notch or two, so has her leadership. She works diligently and she is very accurate. She hits the ball long and can always get on (with) her second shot.

He's hard-hitting, has good mobility, brings tremendous enthusiasm to the game and is never satisfied.

Our secondary has a chance to make a big improvement. The secondary needs help from the linebackers and the rush. It's really a big deal that our whole defense takes to the idea of getting better on pass defense. Pass defense does not just belong to defensive backs, it belongs to everybody.

Matt is a tough, tough player. If you're not tough, you can't play quarterback. I don't care if you can throw the ball 100 yards.

Matt did a lot of great things for us last year, and I'm glad we have him. With a year under his belt in the system, I'm excited for him.

Marcel gives us another bona fide receiver. He is a terrific route-runner, and at the end of the 2004 season became one of Derek Anderson's favorite receivers. The addition of Love will give our offense a tremendous boost, and I look forward to a big year from him.
believed completing percent
I would never have believed he would be that good. He's completing 70 percent of his passes? That's just ridiculous.
