Coach quote: “Our motto here is to be the most physical and disciplined team in the world. We’re going to play smash mouth football and try to run through you. That’s the goal… our motto this year is we’re no longer living on the reputation of Oscar Smith. We’re going to live on hard work. Every day we’re clocking in. At times when you’re at a great program like this, some guys come in and ride that wave. We got all that out last year and they understand this season that every day you have to clock in to be the best.” – Lafonte Thourogood
