Here are some notes and quotes from the postgame press conference. These quotes are not verbatim.
Tracy Claeys:
-We shot ourselves in the foot a few times. Preach stick-together mentality. Cant have snaps over the QB's head. Dropped a punt, didn't like that. Best thing about first games is when they're over. We kept going and found away to win.
-On Tai-yon Devers: He's done well in practice. He has a lot to learn but he can rush the passer. He's been that explosive off the edge in practice. Prob quickest first step of any D-lineman.
-On targeting calls: I'm all for that rule. We just go back and look at the film. Everyone has to lower their target down. I think Mitch had one that was close. We'll go to work on lowering our target in practice.
-On going for two at the end :I'd rather take the chance at getting three yards (two-point conversion) and winning the game.
-I thought after the first quarter we did some good things on offense. I thought missed a couple checks. For the first, game I thought it was good. Snaps have to be 100%, that's what starts the play.
-I thought Rodney did well on the zone-stretch play. Very patient with the zone blocks. He's a tough kid, he doesn't get enough praise for how tough he runs. He blocked well, too.
-On the freshmen: Those kids have been doing it all fall camp. Tyler Johnson, been really pleased with him.
-On Mike Sherels: It's good for him, it's good for football. It's great to have him there. You can sit around the house or come in a for a couple hours and hang around football players. It's seems football coaches heal a hell of a lot faster around football.
-On Mitch running: I thought his running was managed well tonight. I'm happy for that kid. He made some throws. To keep his composure, that's why you have a veteran QB.
Jack Lynn:
They called a pretty game with the screen passes. They knew our weakness and capitalized on that a little bit.
There was no thinking when I got moved to MLB. I wasn't panicking or anything, I've played inside before. I just had to play.
Tai'yon Devers: He's a freak athlete. On the big stage he really showed what he's all about. He's so quick and his get-off is hard for tackles to get out on. Fall camp raised some eyebrows about his talent and he showed that today.
