- Coach Malcolm Gale: I'll tell you what I think of this team. There's a fellow going to start the game tomorrow. He doesn't know anything about it. But, he represents exactly the spirit of this team. At the beginning of the year I put him with the the scrubs. I kept him with the scrubs. And he played hard football. He played clean football. And, by golly, he just wouldn't be licked!
