COACH GAME QUOTES

Hayden Fry We're not a slow football team by Big Ten standards. We're just slow to the Pac-10 people. We look like we're running in mud compared to 'em. If we had been playing lwo Jima junior college it would have been a whole lot easier. They could've made some of the mistakes they made and we could have won the balIgame.
-- Hayden Fry

Hayden Fry We just got our tail kicked real good today. I can imagine every one on our schedule is licking their chops when they look at the film or hear the score. We've done a number on a lot of people through the years and this is their chance for payback.
-- Hayden Fry
