Media Day Quotes
OSU Coach Les Miles
On the first day of practice
“I am glad the team is here. You don't get better unless the team is together and working in a like direction. We have divided our practices so we are getting a real specific look at the newcomers. We feel like it is a quality class for the future. It is a nice start. We feel like there is a lot of work to be done to make us a good football team.”
On player's confidence
“I think it is a product of the enviroment. We have had success. We work hard. They have confidence in what they are doing. It is a product of what they have accomplished.”
On skill positions
“I think that D'Juan Woods is making a case for being a special wide reciever. Chijuan Mack and a number of young guys on the other side are talented. I think we will field a very good and young wide reciever corps. At quarterback Donovan (Woods) knows what we expect from him. He is getting better every day. Certainly he gets better with experience. We are going to be good at tailback with Morency and Shaw. Shawn Willis will be a big, powerful fullback. Our skill positions are solid, but young.”
On Woods family
“We have enjoyed it. They are three talented brothers. It is good to have brothers stay consistent with their older brother's choice. We recruited all three agressively. They are different in personality. They are different in their talents, but all three are very talented. We enjoy them. We would recruit three or four more Woods if we could find them.”
On playing in the Rose Bowl
“It is a great, historical venue. It is wonderful and we are looking forward to going out there. UCLA is a great, quality opponent. It is going to be a great challange to our football team.”
