Kramer on The Sports Nuts
Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2004 2:13 pm
Coach Kramer was in great voice on the KBOZ Sports Nuts show today.
Here's a tip for all future opponents-blitz a lot, you can't fail.
Kramer was asked if we're a good team or a great team. He replied we won't a great team until we can run for 250 and throw for 250 in the same game.
He heaped praise upon the offensive line for their ability to pass protect. He said the pass protection has been better this year than last year with Swaggert and Toiolo!
He said Travis is doing everything within the confines of the offense-nothing extraordinary. He gave a lot of credit to Don Bailey, the fact the receivers are starting to "get it" and catch up to where Travis is, and the offensive line. He mentioned that there were still some critical dropped passes (we all saw them), and I get the feeling he thinks the offense can play a lot better still.
He talked a lot about Blake and Zach Wolf and their story of coming to MSU. He thought Blake had an outside chance of making it here, but he never would have guessed that Zach would turn out to be such a good football player. He said they were both actually better baseball players than football players. He said their accomplishments here have little to do with him. Don Bailey awarded them with their scholarships and stuck with them. Both players rose to their positions through injury and defections of players ahead of them.

The part were he was almost game planning for the opposing defenses on how to stop the Cats was particularly funny. You can tell he has alot of confidence in this team right now.
DOH! Sorry.
