Quotes by Dennis Roland
This is a great opportunity for Felton. He's an outstanding young man with unlimited potential and a great work ethic.
I've got two more rounds of treatment that I had been mentally putting off. But now I know I can go in and knock them off.
That's something we've got to get better at. You play a great team like them and they're going to make you make some mistakes, make you do some things you don't want to do. Their offensive attack is designed for him to scramble around back there. He's a great athlete.
They're special. We're blessed to have them. They help us in so many different ways. They help us with our young offensive linemen, they give us a chance to move the ball. I think they'll really impact our team next year.
They were doing a real good job running some games on defense, some games we had not seen. Give credit to them --they threw some new stuff at us that we had not seen.
(My players) want to be good in this conference. They've been looking forward to this for a long time. You've got to play the whole game. . . . You got to play week in and week out. The really good teams play up every week. That's the test. Will we answer the call?
My own opinion is that a playoff would be exciting. It would get rid of all the questions about who is the true national champion.
I think we're making progress. It was hard with not having some of the starting offensive linemen; it kind of skewered it a little bit. I saw some good things by our defense. I saw our running backs running hard.
I think all three of them are going to be in a battle going into fall camp. The battle might be won in the weight room, it might be won in the classroom, but I think we're getting closer.
