“I think Ferguson is going to have a great year. He is actually catching the ball better on punt returns than I've seen. He's squaring the ball better, attacking the ball better. Making better catches. We know what Johnnie Lee Higgins can do. Dustin Bell will help us in that area. And Marcus Thomas, if we have to have him back there on kickoff returns, we will.”
Mike Price
“I didn't want to punt, so we took the shot and we were fortunate enough to make it. It got us going, it gave us some life.”
Mike Sherman
