Head Coach Rich Brooks
On his thoughts about the game…
“I think it is a great opportunity for a lot of our guys to get some game action. I’m very pleased with some positive things. We had a couple of minor injuries but, nothing serious. It was a great opportunity to get game action and evaluate our personnel and I saw a lot of good things out there. Some of these guys will get out on the field a lot quicker because of some of the things that they did today.”
On the offensive production…
“I thought the quarterback play was very good. (Aaron) Boyd did some good things. He’ll also be able to see what he needs to work on, like his speed and getting out of breaks. But, the good thingabout it is if the ball is in his vicinity he’ll go up and make a play on it.”
On Ryan Tydlacka’s kicking game…
“I was very pleased with the field goals and the extra points. Not only the kicking, but the snapping and the holding were good as well. I think (Jon) Thomas and (Tyler) Sargent really did a good job in that end. The punting was also good. Our kickoffs were notas good. It’s obvious that we need some help on our kickoffs.”
On the play of the defense…
“I was pleased. (Chris) Cessna made a lot plays today. It’s good to see him get some action. I think he helped himself a bunch today, especially on special teams. Antonio Thomas made some plays and (Ronnie) Sneed made some plays at linebacker. Antwane Glenn did some good things today. Chandler Burden who hasn’t gotten to play a whole lot this year got some good reps and some good snaps. I’m pleased overall. Greg Wilson did some good things for us today at safety which is encouraging.
