Sidney Glover
On the change in game times
"We had some trouble last year with starting off slow at our noon games, but the switch in game times doesn’t seem to effect us at all anymore.”
On Marshall's running back, Darius Marshall
"He’s shifty and can make a play at any given time. He’s just another good running back that we’ll have to be on edge with, but it’s nothing we haven’t seen.”
On the importance of a strong defense
"Coach's emphasis on stopping our opposing team from running was no more or less this week. He stresses that every week so we already know to step up our game when it comes that."
Josh Taylor
On stepping in for Scooter
"I think I did pretty well. I’m glad that I was able to get in there and help out my team wherever I could.”
On his interception at the Syracuse game
"I was surprised when I stepped back and saw the ball coming at me, so I just put my hands up and grabbed it. I was just happy that I got the pick.”
Shawne Alston
On his expectations of playing this season
“I got in the game, took advantage of the opportunity and showed everyone a little bit of what I can do. I hope to get in the mix more, but I don’t mind waiting my turn.”
On his position as running back
“I think I'll have the opportunity to get in the game more because we run different packages. All of our running backs have a different style of running and we all bring something to the table.”
On the differences in running backs
“Ryan Clarke is more of a power back, Noel has a lot of speed and I have a little bit of both. It would be nice if they called my number more, but I learn from watching them in practice and in game situations."
Will Johnson
On his progress since last year
“I gained some weight and got my blocking techniques down, and Tyler (Urban) has improved on blocking and catching, so it’s a good duo we have going.”
On switching from a reciever to a blocker
“Learning the blocking techniques with the offensive line is something new for me, but I’m picking it up pretty quickly.”
On getting the catch at the Syracuse game
“Well I thought I was in the end zone, but making that catch was a huge deal for me either way.”
