“I want to go undefeated this season, and we definitely have the team to do that. Once again, just focusing on what we have to do. I don’t see more teams that are more talented than us, I just feel like every game it’s our preparation and how we execute.”
Jordyn Tyson
On Texas State: Credit to them. They gave us a good game. There was a lot of talk about them feeling like they were better than us. We took that as disrespect. The Texas guys on the roster, coming home, we brought it. We wanted to make sure we had people in the stands. It really doesn’t matter where we play, we’ll play the same brand of football no matter where we are. It was good to come home and get a win and now leave and get back on the plane.
On the TD play: We ran it before. We didn’t connect on it, but this time we connected on it for a touchdown. We were working on it all week, getting the timing right, it was good. Before the play started, I was like, ‘Oh, touchdown.’
On the WR room: I think we have a very talented receiving room. We play hard, and if our job is to block, we’re going to block. No block, no rock. Hines Ward instilled that and he says, ‘When the ball comes to you, make a play.’
Coach Dillingham
“That was awesome. It really was. It’s very, very good for our football team to win that game. To be in a game like that, come out on top and make the play when it mattered, it just gives confidents in those moments for our guys. It’s a good building block for us.”
