MORGANTOWN, W.Va.- West Virginia University football player quotes following Tuesday afternoon's practice:
Jarrett Brown
On last time at Louisville
I remember that it was very windy and cold, but it should be fair weather this time. Pat (White) had a great game and Steve (Slaton) played okay. There were a few plays we could have done differently that would have changed the game around.
Louisville atmosphere
That’s the atmosphere I love to play in.
On his injury
I’m fine. We have great trainers and I got to know them going in for treatment three times a day. We worked hard to get my body right and I’m ready to go. My shoulder is pretty much healed.
Dorrell Jalloh
On the last time at Louisville
I remember that it was a tough game; a lot of people counted us out. We persevered and never gave up. They were ready to go when we went there two years ago. They had a good game plan and we had some misfortunes on offense.
On WVU’s offense
We have a high tempo offense and we’ll stay in that offense a little more and move forward. We also could slow it down. 13 points in less than two minutes is pretty amazing so we’ll try to emulate that same thing we did two weeks ago.
On the BIG EAST Championship
We’re far from being out of it. As long as we only worry about ourselves and take care of us, then we’ll be perfectly fine.
Greg Isdaner
On Louisville’s defense
The way defenses shift and move, you really have to prepare for everything every week, even though you have a short period of time to prepare for certain schemes. We’re pretty confident that we’ll get the scheme they’ve been playing all year, and they have been successful with it. We should be well prepared for the game.
On the bye week
Bye weeks aren’t fun always. If you’re doing well they aren’t too bad. Early in the season there is more hitting, but now it’s toned down. It’s more mental now with more meeting time and you usually get a day or two off, so at the end of the bye week you’re fresh and ready for game week.
Sidney Glover
On Louisville’s quarterback
He has a great arm - he’s a gunslinger. I didn’t compare him to the quarterback last year, but he can fire the ball. That’s what I saw on film and on TV.
On UofL's receiving corps
They seem like they have everything they need. They have a big target, speedy receivers who are the small guys, a strength receiver and No. 3 (Trent Guy) is great. They have different types of guys and they’re athletic.
On how the defense has progressed
I think we’ve progressed. We talk and communicate better and we’re getting more game experience. I think it’s exciting because we’re young so we have time to grow
