FAMOUS QUOTES from Dave Holsclaw

I was standing on the sidelines and someone slapped me on the back and said "Congratulations". I said, 'for what?' That's the first I knew I set a school record with four field goals. It felt good.
...from Iowa vs. Minnesota on 10/8/1977

Everyone was looking for me Thursday. They told me that Scott Schilling had hurt his ankle when a golf cart overturned on it earlier that day. I really wasn't worried about punting but I bet I kicked at least 100 placements in two days. I hadn't kicked a field goal since high school. After I missed that extra-point kick I knew I had to make up for it with my punting.
