Coach Fobbs on the
late-game interception by NCCU
“The
opportunity we had there to stick it end at the end was taken away. The
kid made a great play on it. We thought we had a good play called there,
but it was just a great play by the defender to step into the passing
lane to make the pick. We had it open there for just a moment, but
wasn’t able to complete it. “
Coach Fobbs on the
Aggies turnovers
“You’ve got to take care of the ball. I keep saying that over and over.
We were able to do things we thought we could do against them, but when
it counted we didn’t get it done. It’s disappointing that compiled a lot
of yardage and didn’t win the ball game, but our kids fought hard and we
were right there with a chance to win the ball game.”
Coach Fobbs on the
Aggies improvements
“There were a lot of positives in that ball game that we can continue to
build on. We went back to basic fundamentals. Blocking and tackling are
the things that put you in position to win ball games. We were able to
do those things tonight, but not quite enough. It’s a growing football
team. It’s a football team that is gaining a lot of experience. We just
have to keep plugging.”
Coach Fobbs on
penalties
"We
were in the red zone a few times and had some penalties. We had a big
pass that put us inside the 5 and that was called back because of a
penalty. Penalties hurt us when we had opportunities to score.”
Coach Fobbs on
playing this Thursday
“We’re quickly going to put this game to bed. We’ll watch the tape
tomorrow morning at about 7. Our kids we’ll come over tomorrow afternoon
and watch it and then we’ll put it to bed. We’ve already broken down the
Norfolk film, so we’re little ahead of schedule in that regards.‘
Coach Fobbs on
the Aggies program
“I don’t
look at it as snake-bitten at all. I call it rebuilding a football team.
I look at as 11 players on one side of the ball and 11 players on the
other side of the ball and both are trying to make plays. They made more
plays than we did.”
N.C. Central Coach
Mose Rison on N.C. A&T
“I
want to give credit to where it is due. I thought coach Fobbs and his
staff did a great job tonight in terms of getting their football team
ready to play. I tried to convince my team all week long that this would
be the best football team we have played. I think A&T by far proved
that.”
N.C. Central Coach
Mose Rison on N.C. Central’s big plays
“We
hung in there until the very end when it obviously looked like we had
some adversity. But at the same time when you look at the games we’ve
played, we always seem to find a way to win the game when the game is on
the line, and we did that tonight.”
