Famous quotes by Sylvester Croom:
"If we play like we did today, we could have won the last two games. This was the first time that the seniors stepped up and never gave up."
"I didn't think they played with as much class as Alabama teams usually do,"
"We want to close this thing out with these guys this weekend. This is still key. We still have top guys visiting."
"I told our seniors this was not the end of their career. This was the beginning of our championship run."
"Our primary objective was to get some wide receivers in here and get some depth at running back, and we did that."
"We thought (Johnson) was an outstanding player in last year's class. He will be a great asset to us in the secondary."
"We'd go to the local church in that recruit's town or just stand on the street corner and talk to whoever passes by. Background checks may be fine for some, but I don't plan to hire somebody when we can go out and do the same work ourselves. I'd have a hard time anyway trusting anybody other than my coaches."
"They were already out there throwing. This time last year it was difficult to get (players) to do that. It signifies a change in attitude and realization that a lot has to be done on their own in order for us to have a chance to be a championship football team."
"If (Burks) plays up to his abilities, that alone is going to make us better in the passing game. In this offense, if you don't have receivers, you're not going to beat anyone."
"All of our receivers are starting to look like the guys that you want."
