\nJOHN FRANCO: To play winning football, you can\u2019t just turn it on and off. I think that\u2019s getting through to the seniors on this team. Playing hard is a habit. If you don\u2019t play hard every game, somewhere along the way, you\u2019re going to lose.
\nMARTIN TOBIAS: Defensively, they\u2019re very sound and tough up front. They have a strong defensive tradition. Marty prepares them very well defensively. Offensively, they are effective enough to allow their defense to keep them in games.
