Ferentz talks Friday morning
Aug. 29, 2008 12:38 pm
He said a few of the positions remain undecided. That's not news. Those positions likely will be undecided for another week or two. But,
Ferentz said, "all of us feel like we're a better football team at basically every position."
Ferentz talked about former Andre Tippett's induction speech into the Hall of Fame, of which all of the players watched during training camp. He also spoke fondly of his days in Maine as head coach in the early 1990s.
Before his remarks, Ferentz introduced his freshmen players to the fans. Several mothers were in attendance, including James Ferentz's. That introduction drew laughter when Ferentz said, "I think his mother is here somewhere in the back." The fans gave them all a standing ovation after the introduction.
