POSTGAME QUOTES VS. DELAWARE STATE

Coach Fobbs on Delaware State's game-opening kickoff return for a touchdown
"It was big. We came into the ball game we were looking for good things to happen. But then we kick the ball in the wrong direction and they run it back and they take advantage of it. It was a big momentum boost for them. It was devastating for us."

Coach Fobbs on how the Aggies performed
"Playing the way we played last week, we really felt like we had some momentum coming into this ball game. So we shouldn’t have played the way we played. But it happened."

Coach Fobbs on Michael Ferguson's performance
"Mike’s been playing hurt, but that’s no excuse. Mike will be the first to tell you that. I just think that should be mentioned because the way he’s played previously in the position he plays."

Coach Fobbs on Delaware State's defense
"We knew coming into the game their success has been based on the kind of defense they play. They stopped some of things we wanted to do and of course they took the interception back for the score. So that’s just been their M.O., all season long."

Coach Fobbs on the early portion of the game
"Early in the game the field position was really flipped over in their favor. We had a couple of shanks on a couple of punts that didn’t allow us to turn the field position in our favor. We didn’t come out the way we should have and Delaware State is too good for us not to come out ready to execute."

Coach Fobbs on why he went with QB Shelton Morgan most of the game
"We wanted to get Morgan into the flow of the game and into the game plan. We wanted to establish a little more continuity out there with his teammates. I’m trying to settle into one guy to run the offense."

Coach Fobbs on Delaware State stopping the run
"I’m not surprised at their play at the line of scrimmage. They kind of got away from that in their last ball game, so we felt like we could have some success. But they kind of got back into that mode of playing stingy defense at the line."
