“We were very excited for Tommy to compete for the starting quarterback position and he was most definitely in the thick of that competition. Then he fell behind and it became a tougher situation for him. Tommy has a lot of ability. We are sorry that he won't be here with us, but we support what he's doing and wish him a lot of success.”
“He was very limited in the game and we felt like he deserves a better chance. So, we're going to start him in this game and go from there. We'll keep it open-ended and see what happens in the football game.”
“We needed to get a win, and that was the big thing ... . We could feel it on the sideline. Our guys said, 'We can run the football on these guys,' and they did a nice job.”
“It (the offense) may look vanilla, but that is the way we're going to be, ... We have to think about our players first and think about having a young freshman quarterback.”
“Rhett has a tendency, like all young quarterbacks, to go in there and try to do everything at once, ... He'll want to get it all done in one quarter, and we're going to give him more time than that.”
