Following are the top quotes of the season from 22-year Montana Tech football coach Bob Green:
"I do look like a geek on TV." After seeing his KTVM TV "Learn Some Football" segment.
"The way I describe him is he looks like Jane but plays like Tarzan." On running back Drew Savage after fall scrimmage
"It's kind of a clean slate. They haven't signed anything to say they're going to run the same stuff. We haven't either." Before season-opening game against Southern Oregon.
"It's not advanced brain surgery. It's football plays things we envisioned them running." On giving up plays in loss at Eastern Oregon.
"I wouldn't be here. It would be coach Smith or coach Jones. They wouldn't keep me around." When asked if he remembers giving up many 98-yard drives, like the one the Orediggers gave up at Eastern Oregon.
"We trailed 14-0 and we hadn't even got in the way." After come-from-behind home win over Montana Western.
"I told our defense Once you start flying around you'll have some fun.' They told me that's the most fun they've had with their clothes on." After defensive revival against Western.
"The last two weeks we really dug ourselves a hole. That's not the ideal road map." On slow starts against Eastern Oregon and Western.
"They've got a little in a row over everybody. You've got to tip your hats to them." On Carroll College's seven-game winning streak over Tech before first Carroll game.
"We disguise coverage for everybody. We're trying to give everybody a steady diet of no steady diet. We're trying to be predictably unpredictable." Before first Carroll game
"That's all postmortem. We're not interested in the undertaking business. That stuff is history." On giving up 452 yards vs. Rocky's Kasey Peters
"They didn't win the lottery to be No. 1 in the nation. They are good." After 31-13 loss at Carroll
"It's been very tough on them. But the road to success passes through the town of adversity. I hope we've got adversity in the rear-view mirror. I hope we're at the city limits." Before first MSU-Northern game.
"It was a helmet-to-helmet collision and I didn't have one." On collision with DB Shayne Shaules at practice before second Eastern Oregon game that left Green with a cracked pelvis a shoulder injury and a concussion.

"You can't forget Sean Kelly. In a hurricane he was knocking down field goals and PATs." After beating Rocky at home.
