“Anytime you lose a starter, it hurts. Anyone that comes through our program leaves a piece of himself here. Our guys are always ready to step up and play like (that player) did.”
Bill Gallagher
“He understands that he's a starter now and he's picked up his game. When Anthony decided to leave, [Baker] became the guy. He had been behind Anthony, and now it's his job to lose and he's keeping it.”
Herman Edwards
“It's tough anytime you lose a starter, especially Benny, because he's someone we've been playing together with most of our lives, and he's one of the best players we've ever had here. Coach says everybody has to step up because that's all you can do. So far, that's what we've done.”
Adam Krejci
“I think the two programs are very close, ... But they've had (recently graduated) Matt Roth as a four-year starter at defensive end and he's a big defensive end. Our defensive ends had been undersized defensive ends. Now, we've got big defensive ends.”
Joe Tiller
“I have to tell you, of all the positions where you lose a starter, like Anthony, the one I am most encouraged about would be tight end.”
Charlie Weis
“I think the two programs are very close. But they've had (recently graduated) Matt Roth as a four-year starter at defensive end and he's a big defensive end. Our defensive ends had been undersized defensive ends. Now, we've got big defensive ends.”
“When you lose someone like Mark (Lyons), who is a starter, of course it is going to have an effect. But that isn't why we lost. Albany played great, played tremendous defense, and forced us into turnovers.”
