Quotes by Shane Stafford

“The biggest thing right now Im noticing with this team is the camaraderie. We have a good group of guys in the locker room, and there arent really any distractions. Nobodys coming out to practice late. Nobodys in meetings just talking because they want to talk. Everybodys listening. When Coach says something, theyre listening. Thats how its supposed to be, and thats a positive thing to see.”

“This was tough. They did a nice job with their defense, but weve got to do a better job of getting points. Its hard to judge whether that was us or them.”

“Every year, if its a big game, he shows up. Sometimes, in big games, guys kind of disappear and go into a corner, but not him. Every game, he shows up.”

“Its pretty cool, but its only one win. Its not like 400 yards equals four wins. I wish it did because wed be 8-2 now.”

“Were protecting the crap out of me and its really showing. Being able to get back there and make some throws, we had one holding call that brought a touchdown back, that was unfortunate, but I think overall, up front, thats the reason youre seeing all these yards thrown for.”

“It was just a bad game, point blank. Not one guy can leave this field and say that they played well. And I dont care who you are. Everybody needs to look at themselves critically and we need to come back next week, otherwise were going to lose more games if we dont analyze ourselves and get better.”

“At that position, we typically dont have a (6-3) 220-pound guy. So the fact hes as big as he is and hes a playmaker, game time, he comes out and he just balls. Its a big thing for us to have him.”

“The guys up front did a good job giving me time and the other guys got open.”
