Quotables: Kevin Prince
On his shoulder injury"
"It's been better," Prince said. "It's not full-go yet. I wasn't able to throw today. It's just a nagging pain. I've been getting treatment every day; it's starting to get better, it's kind of just lingering right now at the same point of pain. It's a little disappointing."
On waiting for a possible bowl bid:
There's not much we could do about it. We put ourselves in a position where we didn't have a choice but to wait around and see what happened. It gave me time to refocus my energy on finishing strong in school and getting back in the weight room. It wasn't too bad. It gave me a chance to reassess my goals."
On the USC loss:
Everybody put that past them. It's been a couple weeks since that game. Usually we only have a few days to get over a game. We've had a little while. It's a little different being USC, and we're not at all pleased about how that now."
I think Kevin Prince should be benched for the meaningless bowl game in favor of Karl Kraft. Let him heal and get ready for next year. While sitting on the bench, Mr. Prince can think about and reassess his new goal: learning how to slide feet first.

No question Prince has the tools and the leadership skills. Coaches need to teach Prince how to harness his competitive streak so he can stay healthy and be productive for every game..and let's drop the naked bootleg from the playbook.
