First Down Sayings

#1. God bless those runners because they get you the first down, give you ball control and keep your defense off the field. But if you want to ring the cash register, you have to pass.

Sid Gillman

#2. It's such a stupid thing. I've had my arm around more girls that I could possibly remember, but in this moment with this girl, who is so far above me I might as well be trying to scoop up the stars, it feels a little bit like a hard-earned first down.

Cora Carmack

#3. In college football brad, you know, when you make a first down, first downs that you have possession of aren't really that important because if you make a first down it stops the clock

#4. For me, it's not about sacking the quarterback. It's about changing the course of the game. It's causing a crucial fumble at a crucial time. It's making a tackle for a loss when the opposing team needs to gain one or two yards for the first down. I look at myself as a sudden-impact player.

Simeon Rice

Peter Hook

#6. Make every misadventure an adventure.

Mark Feuerstein

#13. Nothing remarkable or impressive comes to be overnight, and all those so-called "overnight success" stories misrepresent the truth. It is only the manifestation of that success that appeared overnight, but its essence was built up over time.
