“We talked at halftime about being the first team on opening day to score on a kickoff and punt return.”
Chad Morton
“Our special teams have been phenomenal -- our punt returns, we've blocked five kicks and return two for touchdowns. It's been the most solid (unit) on our team this year.”
Willie Reid
“Our defense is playing real good right now. The punt return team gave up the touchdown. The defense played real well against Troy. They had two big plays for their touchdowns. Other than that, we didn't give up much. I feel a lot better our defense than I did this time last year.”
Wayne Grant
“Fumbled the opening kickoff, had a punt return against for a touchdown, a kickoff return against, an interception when we're knocking on the goal line, five turnovers, ... Just beyond belief that we would play that poorly.”
Tom Coughlin
“We had the punt team going in, so I had to go in and do my job there. When I came back after the punt, coach told me to warm up. I was going in at quarterback.”
Joe Tereshinski
“At that point it's basically a punt return.”
Don Breaux
“Russell put together a nice drive to start the second half and then when they returned the punt, you could see our kids heads drop. But to our kids credit, they refused to lay down the rest of the game. They could have quit and folded their tents, but they didn't and I was proud of them for that.”
