“That's heroic stuff. We knew he'd be (our top player as a freshman) and he's worked hard to develop. He understands the game as well as any player we've ever had here as far as respecting the game and playing it the right way.”
Al Cooper
“He's matured as a player. He has worked hard with (associate coach) Bob (Nash) with a lot of extra stuff to try to improve his scoring output. He's called on to defend a smaller, quicker guy most of the time, too. Some nights he got hurt with it, but most of the time he's been good.”
Riley Wallace
“He just draws stuff up for Bruce. He stays on top of Bruce on and off the field. When he found out Bruce was going to go in the game, he was coaching him up on the sideline. He also coaches him up in practice.”
Kenny Phillips
“It's storybook stuff. I knew way back it was going to happen for him. I just didn't think it'd happen this quick. But I know he's living the dream today.”
David McDonald
“Chris didn't have his best stuff but he really battled out there. We had some big defensive players and had some kids battle at the plate.”
Dale Redman
“We knew he was going to make some plays. You could tell some stuff was bothering him, but he was playing just like he was 100 percent.”
Sean Locklear
“They should've had all this stuff worked out before they even passed it.”
