Rich Brooks Ball Quotations

He needs to have the ball in his hands, ... He's a playmaker, throwing it, running it, catching it.

I thought he did a good job protecting the ball this week, ... And he made some really nice throws.

We can't have a quarterback fumble the ball three times and expect to beat anybody. You don't fumble a football, that's the bottom line. But I'm going to give him a lot of credit for making some great throws too, doing some great things.

The defense continues to fly around and be physical, but you've got to be able to score when you have the ball like that.

We learned a lesson in turning a close game into a rout. All you've got to do is turn the ball over.

Running backs take a beating because the guys chasing them are bigger, stronger and faster than at any time in the history of the game. I'd love to have a guy you can hand the ball 25 times a game and he'd always get 100 yards, but that's not an easy thing these days.

Now I don't have to worry about which side of the ball is doing real well now because now it's going to be Louisville, ... So both sides of the ball have to do well.

They (the replay officials) probably did look at it and determine there was no sense reviewing it any further. The ball did appear to be clearly out before he hit the ground.

A lot of good players come out of Kentucky. He's doing a good job. He will pull the ball down and run, too.
