Press Conference 9/20/2011 (PITT week)

[military_irish]

He is not worried about the team looking ahead because they have not won enough to get too confident.

 

[military_irish]

He never wants to play freshmen as much as he has but college football is changing. The players today come in more physically fit than in years past.

According to Longo, this freshmen class is the most physically fit class he has ever seen. From day one they came in to compete.

 

[military_irish]

Tulsa was a very athletic team when they beat ND last year. Very agressive.

PITT has better players than Tulsa so it is just a matter of time before PITT really begans to click.

Hey military - Why don't you see if you can get one of the phone in questions for the next press conference? As our official "PC reporter" I think you should get some credentials.

Haha that would be pretty cool, I would probably ask random questions and be "that guy". I would have asked if he was going to get a Philly Cheesesteak on the trip even though he is going to Pittsburg.

 

[Irish Fam]

Snippets from PITTS Press Conference with Coach Graham

Snippets from PITTS Press Conference with Coach Graham

Coach Graham thinks Floyd is one of the best WR's in the country, (obviously)

Something interesting, he said the specialist are very sound. He must not have seen any of the punt units. But I understand he won't dog anyone.

Since he coach against ND last year at Tulsa, he has noticed the biggest difference is how ND can run the ball now.

The only negative he sees about ND is the turnovers.

Things they need to correct is the big plays when they send pressure on defense. (if they can't fix that, ND should have a big day passing)

He believes ND is the best team they have played so far, ( I hope so considering they have played Buffalo, Maine, and Iowa) but then later says that ND is either 1 or 2 the toughest team they will play all year.

Random questions would be the best! I think he would get a kick out of stuff like that rather than the same old stuff.

Since he is going to Pittsburg, you could have asked if he was going to Primanti Brothers! YUM!!!
