Quotes by Bob Sapp

“I had a lot of young guys out there, ... I still thought my second team did a very good job.”

“Having players like O.C. and Ryan around, maybe they thought we would throw the ball all over the place, ... Being able to run like we did was a big plus.”

“Our opening drive in the third quarter was a good one, ... We went to the Wishbone and we just drove the ball downfield. Sure, New Bern scored right after that, and thats really no surprise. Its not like we were playing the Sisters of the Poor. They have a great tradition. Our defense is young, but they buckled down after that last New Bern score and thats encouraging.”

“I thought we executed well and especially the first half,”

“We try to spread it around. Our running backs, Jonathan (McCravey) and Cedric Amos, we had a few nice catches and runs. They work hard and they play hard. Its fun coaching them. We tried to take advantage of some things and it worked out for us, and thats due to O.C.”

“I would rather have one I have to gear down than one I have to gear up, ... Ryan is a competitor without a doubt. I think he understands its his senior year and what we have at stake. He understands the situation. That doesnt mean you cant be competitive and cant get after it, but theres a time to stop and a time to go.”

“Even being a wideout, he is extremely physical, ... Hes always trying to find someone to block. That really caught Carolinas eye because they probably wont use him as a wideout. They will use him to catch and block and use him out of the slot and send him in motion.”

“Even as a sophomore you could tell he would be a real good football player because he blocked extremely well,”

“Last year, he played both wideout and tight end, depending on what we wanted to do. That way we figured we could utilize him and get all the best of him. We will do the same thing this year. It just depends on what we have called.”

“Thats a real possibility,”
