Warrior Quotes 10/14/10 (feature on Jeramy Bryant, Matagisila Lefiti practiced at RG)

About how nothing changed when he returned to his apartment after his big game against Fresno State, Jeramy Bryant said:
"Still the same old stuff, take out the trash, help with the dishes, help with the two girls.I love it becaus e they keep me grounded at home. I'm Dad when I get home." (HSA)


About how his wife Keshauna and daughters Jayana and Kennedy keep him grounded, Bryant said:
"It means the world to me for my wife to always be there. Our household is built on God's foundation, and it keeps me grounded no matter what happens, bad game or good game." (HSA)


About how his trust in the safeties behind him and pressure from the DL helps make his success possible, Bryant said:
"It makes my job a lot easier. Now I can just worry about covering, because I know those guys are going to do the job for me, and they know I'm going to do the job for them." (HSA)


About how he noticed earlier in the game that Fresno was sending the receiver he was defending up the seam and a slot was running an out to the sideline, Bryant said:
I already had it programmed in my mind if I see this route again I'm going to jump it. I told my safety and he OK'd it and, boom, jumped it." (HSA)


About how Fresno State repeatedly threw to the receiver that he was defending in last year's 42-17 loss to Fresno State, Bryant said:
"This was a game I really, really wanted to show up, because last year they picked me apart. They made my life hell last year, the way they just threw at me, ran at me, did whatever they wanted to do." (HSA)


About how Bryant spends a lot of time watching game film to pick up tendencies and keys that can help him, Dave Aranda said:
"He spends a lot of time studying people and Jeramy is a technician when it comes to the game within a game. Jeramy's always coming to us with keys and tips he's seeing. He'll be a great coach one day."


About his success, Bryant said:
"Glory to God because it's nothing I'm doing. It's him putting me in position to make plays." (HSA)


About practicing at RG yesterday while Adrian Thomas rested a sore back, Matagisila Lefiti said:
"I used to play guard in high school, so it's no big deal." (HSA)


HSA Note: "Lefiti has averaged a little more than 30 plays per game, In the 49-27 victory over Fresno State, Tiwanak played two more series than Lefiti because the Warriors elected to defer and take the opening kickoff of the second half. If UH gets the ball first in the second half, it is line coach Gordy Shaw's policy to play the opening starters."


About estimating that his right foot is 80% healthy, Lefiti said:
"I want to push hard and keep getting stronger." (HSA)


About how they never know if Geordon Hanohano will play well or not, Vaughn Meatoga said:
"He was hot and cold." (HSA)


About getting his first NCAA sack against Fresno State, Hanohano said:
"It was an adrenaline rush. It was overwhelming, especially because it was third down. It was a big play by our coach (defensive coordinator Dave Aranda). Vaughn and everybody else on the line read it well. The quarterback ran right at me. I didn't want to let him go." (HSA)


About deflecting a pass into the flat during the Fresno State game, Hanohano said:
"I got lucky with that. I jumped up and closed my eyes." (HSA)


About how Hanohano is finally starting to reach his potential, Meatoga said:
"He's always been able to play. But it was one of those things where it was hit or miss. He would do it some plays, then go backward the next play. He's not in high school, anymore, and he's a really big kid. He has a lot of talent. For being a big kid, he can run for days. I think he's finally realizing what kind of player he can be." (HSA)


About a hobby of his in high school during the offseason, George Daily-Lyles said:
"I used to chase jackrabbits. When the football season was over, we had nothing to do and we didn't want to go home. We would just mess around school with a bunch of guys and chase jackrabbits." (HSA)


About how he only caught a few jackrabbits, Daily-Lyles said:
"They would cut here and there and be gone. You have to knock them off balance." (HSA)


About not worrying about catching a disease from the jackrabbits, Daily-Lyles said:
"You're not thinking of it when you're young. You go after them because it's fun." (HSA)
