QUOTES OF THE DAY
“We need the help of every single one of these guys, and I thought a lot of them showed tonight that they’re ready to help this football team. That was extremely positive.” — Football head coach Robbie Caldwell on the performance of the Commodores’ younger players at Saturday’s scrimmage (Source: VUcommodores.com)
“Besides the first tee shot, I drove it great and gave myself a lot of birdie chances. Couldn’t make anything today. I had one bad swing on the back-9 and had to pay the ultimate penalty. We’ve got 18 more holes (Sunday).” — Brandt Snedeker, who is four shots off the lead going into Sunday’s final round of the PGA’s Wyndham Championship (Source: PGAtour.com)
