Notable quotes from the week
Chip Kelly on returning to Oregon
“It’s always special going back there. It’s a special place in my life. There’s a lot of great people there that had a profound impact on my life. But, I’m not playing the game. So we’re totally focused. We get in Friday around 6 and play at 12:30 the next day. We all know what this entails. It’s a business trip, just like any other week.”
Dan Lanning on UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson
“We really haven’t played anybody quite like him, in my opinion. He runs like a bac or wideout with the ball. So, like I said, he can stop and go. He’s got great acceleration and speed; does a good job with the ball in his hands. For a team that runs the quarterback as much as they do they take care of the ball. So we do have to do a good job of attacking when we get the opportunity and making sure that we’re in the position to tackle.”
