They Said It

? Donnie Duncan, Iowa State football coach, asked at a press conference following a 28-19 win over Kent State whether he was satisfied with the Cyclones' 3-0 start: "I guess I'd feel better if, after three games, we had four wins."

?Tom Koegel, Notre Dame quarterback, whose coach at Cincinnati's Moeller High, Gerry Faust, is now the Irish coach, denying that Faust had made a practice of steering Moeller players to South Bend: "He never told you to go to Notre Dame. He just kept telling you it was the greatest school in the world. He also whistled the fight song a lot."

? Russ Francis, retired New England Patriot tight end, after interviewing the opposing coaches before going on the air as the colorman in the ABC-TV telecast of The Citadel's 34-20 win over Appalachian State two weeks ago: "All they wanted to talk to me about was how to get the ball to the tight end."

?Gary Fallon, football coach at Washington & Lee, on hearing complaints from some of his players that there was no hot water in their dormitory: "Next thing you know, they'll be asking for soap."
