Coach Hoke Quotes at Ball State's Media Day - Aug. 17, 2008
“We have been trying to build for this year the past couple of years. Our goals haven't changed from year to year. We know what we want to accomplish as a team and are focused on the goal. We are excited about Aug. 28th to get onto the field against Northeastern.”
On winning a championship
“That is always our number one goal. We are better equipped this year with guys who want to win and have the ability to take us to our goals.”
On team's mentality
“They are excited about the upcoming year. We have really grown and matured as a team. We have shown the type of poise it takes to be a championship team. We need to keep that poise and maturity all season long.”
On fall camp
“Our tempo, energy level and intensity level have been great in the fall camp. The guys have done what they needed to do over the summer to come in ready for the year. We are concentrating on doing all of the little things that it takes to have success in the long run.”
On depth
“We have more depth on both sides of the ball this year. We are stronger and faster than we have been in the past. Depth at all positions has improved and that will help us as the season goes on.”
On Nate Davis
“The biggest thing is Nate knows the offense so well and has a comfort level in the offense. He has really grown as a team leader. He has improved each and every year with his leadership skills.”
