Coach Joe King states, "We're very proud of our solid offense. Those boys put in a lot of hours and they're ready to take the field and put points on the board. We love our defense too, but we're not proud of them." Quarterback Jack Ammer had this to say: "We pound you, see? That's why we're the Pounders. It's not like the unit of weight thing.

When asked about the lukewarm passing attack, Quarterback Stan Downwind had this to say: "I strive not to be the worst that I can be. That's how I live my life and how I play my game
