“I want to do well, that's why I'm here, ... I went down and did everything they asked offensively and defensively. Now, it's time to come do it up here.”
Gerald Laird
“We've got three starters back on offense and two on defense. We're very green, ... We lost our offensive line, quarterback and main wide receiver. We're running around like chickens with our heads cut off. It's kinda early. These endowments, we look at them as a glorified scrimmages.”
Clay Jordan
“I think both offensively and defensively, [Valparaiso's starters] did a good job of balancing their offense, ... They didn't hit for as high of a percentage as what their season average is, but their starters did a good job of mixing it up and keeping us off balance a little bit.”
Debbie Brown
“All you can ask is that the kids play hard and play a good defensive game. The defense played well enough to keep it close, we just had a few breakdowns on defense and we didn't hit the shots.”
Chris Garvin
“I think both offensively and defensively, [Valparaiso's starters] did a good job of balancing their offense. They didn't hit for as high of a percentage as what their season average is, but their starters did a good job of mixing it up and keeping us off balance a little bit.”
“Al's never really hired a defensive coach, Al's hired offensive coaches, ... That was the first question I asked him when I came out here was, 'What am I doing here?' A big part of Al's involvement with the team is on the defensive side of the ball.”
Bill Belichick
“I was really pleased with our defensive effort, and we also rebounded well offensively and defensively.”
