QUOTABLE

“When it’s short of a period of time, as we prepare for Liberty throughout the week, you should go back to the things you believe you can do best, and try to see if it can stand up to a quality adversary who comes here. There’s not going to be a lot, you just have to do some basic things and I hope that’s enough to beat them.
