“Our secondary played really well against the pass. They launched a half-dozen balls deep and didn't hit any of them. I'm real proud of them.”
Bobby Humphries
“[Defensively, the Wasps played shorthanded, missing both starting defensive tackles and playing several first-year players in the secondary, a fact that didn’t bode well against W&J’s shotgun formation and spread offense.] We played extremely tough at first, before they figured out what we were doing, ... We had to play a totally different style of defense with only three tackles.”
Don Montgomery
“I was expecting guys to play a better game than what they did. Because of injuries in the secondary, we have been shuffling bodies around and it's hard to get continuity. We are just looking for the best pieces to fit.”
Weylan Harding
“We were running the ball well, but we've got to get better in the passing game and in the secondary. Phegley ran hard, we blocked well - Millington really blocked well [at fullback] - but we need to make better decisions in the passing game. We have to be able to throw the ball.”
Chris Barrett
“The Colts are a different team, and our secondary, as good as they're playing, that's a lot of pressure against young cornerbacks when they're against Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. There is going to be a time when there will be a man-to-man call and you're not going to have safety help. My money is on the Colts.”
Ted Johnson
“We just want to come out and execute our plays no matter who's out there. They've got a good secondary. Their guys are fast and can make plays. So we're just going to have to throw the ball on time and hit the guys in the right area.”
