[Outlook: Jackson, who was used sparingly in the first two games, is expected to earn a greater role as the season progresses. With the logjam at running back, Jackson is now assigned to return kicks.] We keep giving him opportunities, ... and he keeps doing a good job for us. |
[The Bulldogs get a short break from the problems caused by Hurricane Katrina when they open the season at No. 10 Florida (1-0) on Saturday.] A lot of our players have lost everything, ... It really hits home. |
[The past two seasons, coach Jack Bicknell abandoned his passing schemes to spotlight running back Ryan Moats. With Moats now in the NFL, Bicknell has dusted off his old playbooks.] I would prefer to throw the ball and then set up the run, ... If you can't throw the ball, you're absolutely dead. |
A lot of our players have lost everything. It really hits home. |
And if they both give us an opportunity (to win), they'll both play all year long. |
And they have some wide receivers who can really fly, so we have our hands full, ... They pretty much dominated Wyoming and their offense is really dangerous. |
As far as their character, you can't beat either of those two guys, ... Both of them bring something and having two starters is a positive. You don't have to worry about the first guy going down. |
Freddie has done a great job. He's had a great camp and spring and he's a guy we look to provide a spark for us. I think he's going to have a good year. |
He made a great catch, ... He's going to be a very good player. |
He said, 'Coach, the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. |
He's a got a good arm, he's mobile, but more important, he's a leader, and that's what you need to win in this league. |
I am very happy with the defense. They did an excellent job Saturday. People haven't been able to sustain the run. I'm real happy with the defense. That's why I'm so disappointed with that game. |
I don't know what to say to someone who doesn't know what's going on with his mom and dad. |
I don't think that Kansas is susceptible to anything on defense and we've got to improve offensively. Florida is a good team and they did a good job against us, but we can't continue to play like we did on Saturday night. |
I know those people are looking forward to coming over, watching the game and seeing their sons. I think it'll be a nice diversion for everyone. |
