Hansen is "A Tough Nut"

The Utica paper has an interview with Coach Biddle in which he talks about freshman tailback Steve "MMMBop" Hansen.

"If you look at the game, that was the excitement for us - when Steve came in," said Biddle, who compared Hansen's slashing running style to that of former Colgate 1,000-yard rusher Ed Weiss. "He runs so hard, and he's not very big (5-foot-9, 185 pounds), so he's going to get clobbered. But he's a tough nut. He gives us a chance to hit a home run every time he touches the ball."

I can't say I disagree with that one bit. From his very first run I was saying, out loud probably, who the heck was that? The Ed Weiss reference is one I can't believe I didn't make myself. I look forward to seeing Hansen hit a few homers!

The other parts worth mentioning is Biddle promised there will not be a repeat performance of last week - in terms of turnovers. His quote:

"You have to look at what the quarterback (Saraceno) can do and take the ball out of his hands until he gets some experience. We can't put him in that situation again."

That is an interesting statement. I wish I heard what preceded and followed it. I think what he is saying is that we'll be hitting the running game much more this weekend. However, it is ambiguous enough that I'm not 100% sure. Is Saraceno on a short plank this game already?
