Todd Graham said this taking over the team January 21, 2020, “I want to be on that grass (field) every day with (the players). … Taking 24 months off, and getting the opportunity to come here, I can’t tell you how pumped up I was to be on the field (today). And then you get kind of a curveball thrown at you. It gives you the opportunity to show your players, and to teach them, how do you respond? What do you do? You stay positive, you stay poised, and you adjust. I told them: ‘What you do in the next six to eight weeks will determine whether we’re playing for a championship in December. That’s our goal.’”
The Rainbow Warriors are hopeful that a 55 year old Graham can improve on their 10-5 record and help them crack the top 25 in NCAA college football.
