Dale Lennon Quotes (11 Quotes)

We're not changing any of our goals. I'm hoping for a typical North Dakota team that plays within itself and doesn't make mistakes.

You have two highly competitive teams and there was a lot to play for. But we lost control of our emotions for a while. Hopefully, this will help us down the road because each game now becomes more significant.

You look for guys in the 280-290 range, players who look like they can carry 300-plus comfortably, and you look for athletic ability. We do a lot of movement and run a lot more screen passes in our offense than St. Cloud does. Our linemen have to run and pull more.

I stressed the point at halftime that we had 110 yards in penalties and Duluth had 100 total yards of offense. I told our guys that if we kept that up, we were going to have a hard time winning the game.

Today was a good day. I was happy with our offense, defense and special teams. It was our most complete game of the season.

Today was a good day. We passed that non-conference test.

With the nutritional information that is out there, these guys are eating healthier and it's not all bad weight.

Mac Schneider went down with an injury. The first guy Tyler went against, if I remember right, was an All-American nose guard. Fortunately, we had the lead.

Tyler is a story of perseverance. He came in as a walk-on, and even then we weren't sure if we had enough room for him to be here. But he had that desire to be on the team. And my philosophy is if a player really wants to be here, we'll give him a shot. He's been patient enough to pay his dues.

As a coach, you always worry about the distractions of the week and keeping your feet on the ground.
