North Texas Mean Green College Football Pregame Quote, 10/12/2021

On the first portion of the season:

In a football season, there’s a lot of ups and downs. We have seven games and a lot of football left. It’s really just focusing on this week and the opportunities it presents. The mentality has been great. They’re working hard. All year long this group has stuck together ‚Ķ and they’re getting better together.

On Marshall:

They’re a very physical team. They’ve always been one of the top teams in our conference. They’ve played for a lot of championships [and] they’ve been able to put points on the board. Defensively, they do a great job within their scheme ‚Ķ It’s always a challenge, and we’re looking forward to the challenge. It all starts with their run game. They do a great job getting downhill. They’ve got very explosive receivers. I think their quarterback does a great job, and I’ve been very impressed with him over the past two years.

On playing on Friday night at home:

It’s a quick turnaround, but the first couple of days have gone well. Practice has gone smoothly. I love Friday night football, in the state of Texas especially, it’s unbelievable. It’s always been a tradition, and I love playing football whenever they tell me we’re going to go out and play.
