LDN: You have got to be happy
with the way that they controlled the ball.
Coach Oaks: They did a great job
practically in the first half, both offensively and defensively. In
the second half we played well defensively. We gave up a little
yardage, but we buckled down when we had to. We picked up a couple
key first downs late in the game and put it on ice. I’m real proud
of their efforts. This team is off to a 2 and 0 start, and we just
have to work on getting better.
LDN: Are you happy with the way
that they played defensively?
Coach Oaks: Any time that you
shut somebody out, you have to be happy with their efforts. We bent
in a couple of cases but haven’t broken too much. It’s the sign of a
good team. I think they will keep learning and getting stronger as
they gain a little success and a little confidence.

LDN: You play Jacksonville next
week. What do you think of them?
Coach Oaks: They are an awful
good football team. It was a great game last night. I was down there
at that game. Jacksonville plays hard against the big kids. They
have some good, skilled players. Anderson is a very fine high school
quarterback. He’s just a junior.
We will enjoy it for 12 hours and start
on working on Jacksonville tomorrow.
LDN: You have to be happy with
the support that you are getting from the fans this year.
Coach
Oaks: If you are having some success, they will come out and
support you, and Lincoln is no different than anybody else. If we
put a good product out on the field, they are definitely going to
support us, and I have been grateful for the support of the
community.
