Opening Statement:
“That was a fun game today. It was nice to get our first win. We did a lot of good things today. I’m proud of how our team came out and started fast and was able to get ahead and put some pressure on James Madison. They stayed focused throughout the game and I was very happy that I was able to play as many players as we did. That is really going to help with the depth and experience that we are going to need to have as we continue to go through this season. I’m just very proud of their effort and I thought it was a clean game as well. We executed well and had only five penalties.”
On quarterback C.J. Brown’s play:
“I really thought C.J. did a lot of really good things out there. You take a look at some of the runs he had out there and how he got in the end zone, I couldn’t be more proud of him. I liked how he conducted himself and handled himself today. He might have not lived up to his or our expectations in terms of completion percentage, but that’s something we can work on. He’s a competitor and warrior, and goes out there and lays it on the line.”
On the defensive takeaways:
“If you look at the numbers on possession down, we were really good. When you can get off the field on third down, that makes life a lot easier. It was a combination of guys putting pressure on the quarterback and the guys in coverage. To hold James Madison to what we did, is tremendous credit to our players and how hard they played. J.J. [Johnson] had a great interception at the end of the first half, he battled and came down with it. Anytime you can get that first turnover, is good. Our defense played well.”

On his low completion percentage:
“I didn’t do too well today in terms of throwing the football. The stats speak for themselves and that’s unacceptable. I didn’t prepare for that. It helps that we got the win. I didn’t play well today, I understand that and I’ll get better.”
On his touchdown run on fourth-and-goal:
“I wasn’t surprised. In the situation that we were at I wanted to get a good look. The offensive line was doing a great job all day. I think that the coaches had confidence in them. We were running the ball well all day. I just knew it was fourth down and don’t hold anything back and just try to get in the end zone.”
On the depth that the team has at wide receiver:
“I think the biggest thing for us is that we’ve been through the injury adversity before. People understand that you’re only one play away
