Extended Interview: Tom O'Brien (September 22)



“I have never seen a situation like this in any school I have ever been at. But it is what we have been dealing with all year. That’s the amazing thing about the win on Saturday. What a tremendous job this coaching staff and these kids have done. We have nine or 10 starters that aren’t playing. It’s consistently been that way all season long."
