Scott Yates Quotations

It felt like the jam started in New Mexico. Even if the jam was only three miles, it feels like forever if you're going zero mph.

We were pretty balanced last year, and we'd like to keep that balance. It makes it more difficult for the opposing defenses.

We look to continue to build up to be a team in playoff contention. We have a tough schedule, but we have experience against some good teams over the past couple seasons.

We should be able to carry it over, but we'll learn more in our first game or two. The first half of our (schedule) last year was the toughest, so I guess we'll find out if it carried over after the first half.

Coach (Clint) Smith was saying that he's been here seven or eight years and this (offensive) line has the most potential of any line we've had. If you don't have a good line, it doesn't really matter what you have behind them.

Smith is hard to keep off the field. He's a brick wall.
