On the Bobcats' third down defense: "This season, if you look at where we've been successful and the ups-and-downs of the defense, we have not been successful on the third-down pass defense. One, it's been a few mistakes and two, we need to be more physical."
On why SUU had so much success on third down: "They just out-executed us. I had a few bad calls that I'd like to have back where we should have been in man coverage rather than zone."
On SLU QB Brian Babin: "He only threw seven interceptions last year. He takes good care of the football. At 6-foot-5, he has good vision and he's a heck of a quarterback."
Texas State defensive end Ron Jackson
On the defensive line's struggles this season: "We need to get to the QB faster. If we make them make bad decisions, it makes the job of the DBs and linebackers a lot easier."
On how to improve the D-line's play: "We need to pressure but also make sure we hold our gaps on the run. We need to hold the blockers up front so the linebackers can make plays."
Texas State linebacker Bryan Iwuji
On the team's struggles on third down: "When you get a team in position to get the defense off the field, you need to take advantage of that. It comes a lot during the game and when it does, you need to capitalize."
On disrupting SLU QB Brian Babin: "We need to get pressure on him. The D-line needs to get up field and around those blocks and get to the QB. The DBs and linebackers need to get back to the drops to make sure they can't go underneath."
