Quotes From Bob Pruett's Weekly Press Conference
10/14/2003
ABOUT BUFFALO
?This is a team that beat Rutgers last year?I think what our players need to understand is that we can not overlook anyone. We?ve already proven that earlier this year.?
?We need to take care of us. The name of the football team we are playing is irrelevant.?
?We?ve got to go play?we?ve got to get our execution down?we got six tough ball games the way we?re looking at it?we started this during the ?bye? week. I thought we headed that way versus Kent. We looked awesome offensively, and defensively we were very, very good on first and second down, but we got them in third and long a lot.?
ABOUT THE KENT STATE GAME
?I wasn?t as dejected after looking at the film as I was after the game. I was wound tighter than a drum in the game.?
?I set a standard and I want them to stay in this picture and if they?re not in this picture we are going to do everything we can to keep them in that picture. I have had championship rings around here every year I?ve been here and we are not going to give up on it that easy. The level of expectation is high ?.the championship goes through Huntington and its not going to be an easy fight.?
ABOUT STAN HILL
?The game that Stan played was pretty good Saturday. He had 392 yards without playing the majority of the fourth quarter.?
CONCERNING EARLIER LOSSES
?I don?t know that we ever lost our confidence. I don?t think that our guys thought that they weren?t very good. I just think we lost our ability to focus. The team that showed up for the Tennessee game was different than the one that showed up against Toledo, and the one that showed up at Kansas State was different from the one at Troy State.?
