Quotes about Lewis and Newberry

After yesterday's practice where both Lewis and he intercepted passes, Newberry said:
"It started (Friday) when the defense started making plays. I feed off the defense and came back today to make some plays." (HSB)

HSB Note: "Newberry picked off a Tyler Graunke pass over the middle. Lewis made at least two outstanding plays. He knocked a ball away from Malcolm Lane on a pass from Colt Brennan, and then went stride for stride on a deep ball with C.J. Hawthorne before fighting him off and making a leaping interception."


About battling Hawthorne for his INT, Lewis said:
"I knew it was practice and we could do a little extra so it's all right. If we stand out, we stand out as long as we get our job done." (HSB)

About how they benefit from practicing against UH's offense, Lewis said:
"Our offense is awesome and if we're making plays against them, then it actually means something." (HSB)


About how he's heard the criticism that Lewis and Newberry get, Rich Miano said:
"We're going to win a lot of games with them this year. Everybody talks about how they're short and this and that and all their drawbacks, but you know what, these guys can play and they showed it." (HSB)
