Sarkisian, Rhule: Top College Football Week 1 Quotes
Okay, here’s a breakdown of the quotes and their context from the provided ESPN article snippets:
1. “Blocking his a– off.” – dan Lanning (on Dakorien Moore)
Context: Oregon defeated Montana State 59-13. Freshman receiver Dakorien Moore impressed coach Dan lanning with his blocking effort, though it seems the block may have been on the wrong player. It’s a humorous observation about a player’s keen,if slightly misguided,effort.
2. “Eff it, let’s kick it.” – Matt campbell (as told by Kyle Konrardy)
Context: Iowa State beat South Dakota 55-7. Kicker Kyle Konrardy made a 63-yard field goal at the end of the first half. This quote reveals the very simple, almost impulsive decision-making process between Campbell and Konrardy before attempting the long kick. It suggests a coach willing to take a risk and a kicker ready to deliver.
3. “I want them to play football.” – Sam Pittman
Context: Arkansas defeated Alabama A&M 52-7. Quarterback Taylen Green had a standout performance with six touchdown passes. Pittman’s quote is a response to a question about protecting his quarterbacks from hits and injuries. It’s a somewhat blunt statement emphasizing his desire for his players to play aggressively and not be overly cautious.
4. “I’m at a poin…”
Context: the quote is incomplete, so it’s hard to provide a full analysis. It appears to be the beginning of a statement from a coach, but the rest of the quote is missing.
Let me know if you’d like me to elaborate on any of thes quotes or their implications!
