For the record:

[U]MEDIA QUESTION:[/U]

Leornard fournette tweeted last night how much it meant to him to be in the carrier dome and see ernie davis and jim browns face up there.  what was it like for you guys to play against a player who could, it’s not hyperbolic to suggest he might be a heisman trophy finalist.

[U]SHAFER[/U]:

Well it was nice and all that stuff but (smiling) we really wanted to kick his ass to be honest with ya and I know he’d appreciate that.  Ah ya know you get a chance to play a heisman trophy candidate and you want to knock him backwards, get after him, and you want him to no longer be in the heisman race after you play him, that’s the truth of it and I know fournette would appreciate me saying the truth.  HE’S A GREAT PLAYER, HES GOING TO DO EXTREMELY WELL FOR HIMSELF, um and ah, it was good and ya know, we wanted to beat him and we didn’t beat him so I was mad to be honest with you and that’s the gods honest truth.  And ah, THEY'VE GOT A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM.

But umm ya know, somebody did mention that to me before the game but I wasn’t quite sure what they were talking about, um I hope he had a chance to maybe meet Floyd, I don’t know, kinda cool for a young man to come into Syracuse and ya know, play in the venue where so many great tailbacks played, so ah, so that’s kinda neat that he ah, social media (inaudible), be pretty cool by him, SEEMS LIKE A GREAT KID…inaudible end

(I’m curious 5 swear words though ? and he said it once, not a couple of times, and how does this come off as less than classy)
