Coach Fobbs on the
overall game
“We
were right there. We had opportunities, but the turnovers hurt us
offensively. It was a great job by our defense.”
Coach
Fobbs on pressuring the Bears QB’s
‘We
wanted to pressure both quarterbacks. We felt like we could do that. We
felt like when we were able to get one-on-one situations at the line we
could get to them. We really wanted to disturb what they do and get some
penetration in the backfield.’
Coach
Fobbs on Morgan RB
Chad
Simpson
”He is a
good running back. We knew what the challenge called for. And you know
what, we’ve been playing good defense all season long. Whenever we get
our offense and defense on the same page, we’ll be ok. Our offense has
to keep our defense on the boundaries.’
Coach
Fobbs on the longest play from scrimmage in school history
“One
thing about being backed up; most defenses think you’re going to be
conservative. We felt like we could get it at some point, but it had to
be at the right moment. It was just a great time to make that call. It
was just a go-route off of play action. The corner came up just enough
where the receiver got behind him. It was just a great throw by
Shelton.”
Coach Fobbs on coming
close to victory
“It’s
time to stop saying that. At some point you just get satisfied with
closer and closer, and we don’t want to get to that point. It’s time to
start winning. We don’t go to practice every day to get closer and
closer. We go there to prepare to win games.”
Coach Fobbs on
turnovers
’I
thought our calls were good. It looks bad when you turn it over though.
Give them credit, they hung in there after the big play and kept
fighting. They showed the type of team they were by not panicking. It
could have went either way. “
Coach Fobbs on the
progress of the Aggies
“We’re
excited about how far we’ve come. We worked hard to get to this point
and we can work even harder to get better. We’re excited about this
group and we’re excited about this group and we’re looking forward to
the things we can still accomplish this season.”
A&T QB
Shelton
Morgan on the 96-yard touchdown pass to Michael Caldwell
“It was a
great play and a great call from our coaches. The problem is the
touchdown wasn’t the end of the game. We still had to score some more. A
lot of times teams get hype off of one play, but we shouldn’t have done
that. There was still 14 minutes left on the clock.”
Morgan
on the losing streak
“Losing like this test your faith. It tests if you can believe in
yourself and if you can believe God really. We’re going to get a win. If
we keep it’s going to come. We just got to believe in each other.”
Morgan on closing out
ballgames
”If we
just close one out when we’re close to that W at the end of the game,
we’ll be all right. Not saying that we’re down, but everyone’s
confidence will be higher. We have to keep believing in each other
because once we get one, it’s going to start snowballing.”
