Absolutely. But Jackson State has a big, strong, tough football team. We're going to have our hands full. |
Back in the old days, the safety net wasn't so overwhelmed. |
Defensively, I thought we played well. We held them to 77 yards in the first half and 200 and something overall. It was just a matter of us having too many turnovers and not being able to make the play at the critical point in the game. |
Give Martin credit; they fought back, went down and scored, and played with enthusiasm, |
He's our quarterback, and he's got to get the job done. It's just like when Bryson (Rosser) was in there. It was his job to get it done. Now it's Hartman's job. |
I know all about the tradition of the rivalry. I'm ready to kick it off right now. I wish I could put a helmet. |
I thought we played with enthusiasm, but (yesterday) was their day. |
I understand the expectations are high, and I don't have a problem with that, ... But people have got to understand it takes time to build a winning program. |
I'd like to get it a little closer to balanced, |
I'm not sure who the quarterback is going to be, ... Andre's knee has been bothering him; he hasn't practiced a lot. Whether it's going to be Richard or Jerald (Cook), I'm really not sure. |
I've been saying we've got four tailbacks that could play, ... We just didn't play them all in the first game (a loss to Alabama A&M). But this time, they all had fresh legs, and they all played hard and well. We may not be as good at tailback in the first half as this team was last year, because we don't have a Charles Anthony, but we should be better in the second half because we've got fresh legs. |
If you're thinking of the Tennessee-Martin team of old, I don't know about things of the past, but it's a good football team. We didn't get beat by them because we took them lightly. We got beat because they are a better football team than us. I wish somebody else would have played them first. I think it's a wake-up call for the league. |
It can work, ... if they're both good. |
It happens to linebackers (too), |
It was very encouraging, |
