Scott Long Quotes on Chance (3 Quotes)


    To live his greatest day as a coach, Scott Long would have to relive his worst day as a player. The defensive ends coach of those 1-AA Missouri State Bears stepping up to play 1-A Arkansas in Saturdays 6 p.m. season opener at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Long was a starting Arkansas senior defensive tackle in 1992 when The Citadel of 1-AA stunned Jack Crowes Razorbacks, 10-3 in the season opener in Fayetteville. I talked to somebody about that yesterday, ... A reporter brought up that you are a I-AA school going to a 1-A and you have no chance. You can look at it all on paper like that. But it comes down to a group of 18 to 23-yearolds from Arkansas versus a group of 18 to 23-year olds from Missouri. Thats why we have to play it out and see how it comes. Every year things do happen.

    Long will deliver that message more often this week than Cliff Clavan delivered mail to Cheers. I can tell my players, ... Yes, we can go in there and win. Lets not just get our guarantee and go to the house. Thats why they just didnt take the win and send us a check. There is a chance we can win the football game.

    If Missouri State (formerly Southwest Missouri State) makes good on that chance, well, Long might not make it back to Springfield that night with the rest of the team. If we pull off an upset, ... I might hang around the field a little while.
