Patrick Darby Quotations

What he isn't giving up is heart, and he has tremendous heart.

We're happy from the standpoint we have eight in the semifinals and everyone is still alive. Everybody has shown pretty good enthusiasm.

He fought to the very last second of his career, and that's a testament to him.

He's a little rusty right now. His timing is off and his shape isn't back where we want it to be.

He just decided it was his last match and he was going to go out and win it. He may not have been the best wrestler, or the best athlete, but he made himself because of his great mentality and his great heart.

Logan is kind of like our rock. Sometimes, I think he's overlooked. All he does is win.

Without that foundation, Colton doesn't come in as a freshman and do what he's done.

Both of them are real deserving kids who work hard all the time.

They've been looking forward to this match with us.

There was good wrestling all across the board. It was wrestling like it should be - very exciting.

It's kind of an unprecedented week for us. We're putting ourselves through the grinder here, but there's a reason for it. We're trying to hit that peak when it counts.

It was a tough one, but I think he decided in his mind he was going to get a medal.

That kid was big. He was a lot bigger than Austin, but he wrestled smart and used good technique.

It's something he really worked a long time for.

It's really a strength for Iowa, and I'd like to see Missouri change a little bit.

I'm just so proud of our community and our wrestlers. It's a real nice pleasure, because we've been so dry here for the last few years.

I'm just happy to be a part of it. I see it as everybody in the community pulling together.

He still fought through and got himself a medal.
