Quotes by Dan Hammerschmidt

“We just turned it off. I didnt need to see it. You learn from your mistakes and focus on the future.”

“We just havent been able to get it moving on the ground. Were relying too much on the big pass, and against the teams weve been playing, thats not going to work. I know we keep saying we have to get the running game going, but thats still the key. We know we can throw the ball down the field. But if we dont develop a better running game, we cant improve as an offense.”

“Kyle Bell is a stud, Luke Roberts is a stud and everybody already knows what a great player Anderson is. And Justin made some big-time throws.”

“I knew right from Justins first step.”

“From now on, well bring the quarterback over to the sidelines after he (spikes the ball), and you can be in whatever personnel group you want, but the quarterbacks going to know whats hes doing for those two plays.”

“Most people would be on the beach drinking beer on spring break, but not Caleb. He never stops working.”

“Calebs done a great job all spring. His release has improved, his passing has improved. He knows the offense and hes fired up to get back out there and get going.”

“We were a real explosive offensive team at times last year, but we werent as consistent as we need to be. Im hoping our leadership and experience will make us more consistent, everybody buckling down and being tougher.”

“I know fans have been really tough on Justin, but they have to remember that things were different when Van Pelt was the quarterback. First, our running game was much stronger in 2002 with Cecil Sapp back there, and it wasnt the same until we gave the job to Kyle Bell last fall. And our defenses were more dominant back then. Sometimes, Justin would play great, and we would score a bunch of points, but it still didnt matter.”
