QUOTABLES
Al Golden on thoughts following first #CanesCamp practice Saturday…
“We got a lot done. They’re in good shape. It obviously allows you to do more. Greater capacity to work. (Saturday) was a good start. Clearly a lot of guys did a lot of work over the summer and a lot of freshmen studied so it was good to see them out there as well because it shows their prepared and want an opportunity to play.”
James Coley on Morris’ progress…
“He’s doing a great job. He has to continue to work and get better. But he’s doing great job so far. He’s had a good summer.”
Coley on pressure…
“There are two types of pressure in the world: those you feel and those you apply.”
Coley on Eduardo Clements…
“He’s versatile. He gives you the stuff Dallas (Crawford) gives you as well because he’s so smart. He understands football. He’s a good athlete and a good guy that instinctively takes over when he’s on the field. He knows what the other side is doing on defense because he’s so bright.”
Tracy Howard on the receivers…
“I think we probably have one of the best receivers groups in the country. Going against these guys every day, I know we’re going to be prepared. We’re very blessed to have the receiver group we have. I like competing with those guys every day. It’s only going to make us better.”
