QUOTES FROM THE COACH: JAMES PERRY

"This group of kids that I'm coaching is a great group of kids. This hurts like no other. I want very desperately for this team to experience success and results. The way they practice and work, it's a very fun group to coach. I'll remember the 2022 Bears as a group who worked exceptionally hard and were very fun to coach. As Brown football experiences success in the years to come, the program owes them a great debt. It kills me inside to not get them a little more on-field success because they're such a terrific group of players to coach."
"Hats off to Dartmouth. They are a good football team and we knew we had our work cut out for us. I don't think we played particularly well, especially in the first half. We got beat in all three phases in the first half. It was good to see the kids come back and play hard in the second half, and that's characteristic of who we are."
