Next Man Up* The Tigers look to avoid the injury bug that has affected the team over the past two seasons, but have already missed a couple key pieces early in the season.* All OVC cornerback Dajour Nesbeth missed four consecutive games after an injury in week one.* Running back Sabree Curtis, the team’s leading rusher in 2017, returned to the field in week four after missing the first three games of the 2019 campaign.* Transfer wide receiver Jatavious Harris saw his first action of the sea-son against Arkansas-Pine Bluff after sitting out the first three games.* Linebacker Jahsun Bryant returned to the gridiron against UAPB after missing one week, only to miss the first two conference games this season.* Ray Coggins sat out the week four contest and suffered a season ending injury in week seven.* Defensive end Makhi Brown sat out the last three contests.* Week two, cornerback Domonique Harris and starting left tack-le Jaalon Gupton on the sidelines.* Curtis missed out in week three, as well, while Justin Culpepper missed the opening weekend.* Tight end Josh Trueheart has missed the last four weeks, while running back Shawn McColley missed weeks five and six.* Tennessee State dealt with injuries last season which allowed just 24 players to see action in all nine games and only six start-ing every contest.

* The total included their starting quarterback, center and middle linebacker who all suffered season ending injuries.* The final game of the season featured the number three quar-terback on the depth chart, an emergency center, a true fresh-man on the offensive line and a starting defensive lineman that started the season as a reserve offensive lineman.* The Tigers played the final two games of the season without the services of senior defensive tackles Jeremy Patterson and Ladarious Jackson, as well as junior offensive lineman Lachavious Simmons. * Preseason All-OVC selection Steven Newbold was limited for three games, returning for the game at Southeast Missouri, while safety LaQuarius Cook, who recently entered the Tigers career top 10 for tackles, missed the Murray State contest.* The Big Blue leaned on eight freshmen to fill the vacancies from the numerous setbacks.* The bye week allowed several Tigers to become available for playing time during the final games of the season.

Location Breakdown* The 2019 Tigers are represented by 10 states.* Of the 97 players on the squad, 44 hail from Tennessee, while 20 come from Georgia and 16 from Florida.* Alabama and Texas are represented by four players, while Illinois and Mississippi each have three.* Kentucky, North Carolina and Washington each have one athlete.

Preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference* Four Tigers were named to the 2019 Preseason All-OVC squad.* Senior cornerback Dajour Nesbeth made the squad after being named to the 2018 All-OVC First Team.* Seniors Chris Rowland and Raekwon Allen were All-OVC Second Team honorees a season ago.* Rowland who made the 2018 team as both a receiver and a re-turn specialist was selected as a wide out on the Preseason Squad.* Senior Thomas Burton earned a spot on the team for the second time in his career.* Burton was an OVC-Preseason selection heading into the 2017 campaign.

Pieces to the Puzzle* With the Tigers injury bug last season, head coach Rod Reed added much needed depth.* Reed added 16 transfers to help bolster the roster.* The Tigers defense played shorthanded in 2018 with a bevy of injuries and went out and signed Emmanuel Olenga (Northeast Mississippi CC), Mike Boykin (Louisville) and Allen Daniels (Pur-due) for the front line.* Rhashaun Epting (New Mexico) and Nyle Love (Memphis) will join the linebacking corps, while Domonique Williams (Kentucky) will provide stability to the backfield.* With Chidi Okeke graduating and leaving for the NFL, Will James (Itawamba CC), Brandon Jones (Georgia Military) and Cam Durley (Kansas) were brought in to solidify the offensive trenches.

coaches tennessee state vs. southeast missouri (nov. 2, 2019)

Rod Reed enters his eighth season at the helm of the Tennes-see State football program after being named head coach on December 18, 2009. He served as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator during the 2009 season.

Reed experienced immediate success as a head coach, leading the Tigers to a win in his debut game, 27-14, over Alabama A&M on Sept. 4, 2010 in the John Merritt Classic. He also broke an eight-game losing streak to Florida A&M, downing the Rattlers, 29-18, in the Atlanta Classic. Reed coached six players to All-OVC Teams including safety Eugene Clifford who also was a Sports Network, Phil Steele and BOXTOROW All-American.

The Tigers increased their win total in their second season under Reed and finished the 2011 season on a hot streak, winning four of their last six games. The stretch included a, 42-40, upset win at No. 19 ranked Tennessee Tech on Oct. 15. Reed produced even more All-OVC players in year two, as seven made postseason squads. Two more defenders garnered All-American honors under Reed’s tutelage in linebacker Rico Council and Joseph Wylie. He also helped Lamar Divens and Sidney Tarver ink NFL contracts.

The Big Blue continued its success in 2012 by rattling off seven straight victories to open the season. The Tigers finished the year with an 8-3 record, its best since 2001. The performance earned TSU HBCU Program of the Year honors by HBCU Hud-dle. Several players earned postseason accolades including running back Trabis Ward who was named to the College Sports All-American Team after running for 1,460 yards and 15 touchdowns. Three more Tigers were Sheridan All-Americans including Sherman Carter who signed an NFL deal with fellow offensive lineman Rogers Gaines following suit.

Reed turned in his finest season to date in 2013, as the Tigers finished 10-4 and won a FCS Playoff Game for the first time since 1986. It capped an impressive run in which Reed im-proved his club’s win total by at least two in each of his first four campaigns. TSU won its first HBCU National Championship since 1982 and the team’s shutout win over Butler in the first round of the playoffs was the first victory for the OVC in post-season play in nearly 30 years. A school record 12 Tigers were chosen to the league’s all-conference teams at season’s end and Kadeem Edwards (143rd) and Demetrius Rhaney (250th) were selected in the NFL Draft.

In 2014, Reed’s defense ranked inside the top-10 for the third

straight season. Middle linebacker Nick Thrasher tallied 128 stops on the season, which was sixth-most in a single-season in school history and the highest total for a Tiger since 1991. Thrasher also moved up to second-place in tackles in the TSU record book over the course of the season, finishing with 358. Quarterback Mike German threw for 2,846 yards on the year, helping him break the 34 year old school-mark with 8,664 career yards.

After breaking a streak of three consecutive non-losing seasons in 2015, the Tigers bounced back to finish 7-4 in 2016. TSU re-emerged as one of the top teams in the OVC under Reed with nine all-conference players and six All-Americans. The offense led the OVC in points scored and finished second in total offense. Cornerback Ezra Robinson and offensive lineman Jessamen Dunker both earned First Team All-OVC selections, All-American status and were invited to play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl. The duo also participated in the NFL combine and signed free agent contracts.

Reed has coached a total of 28 All-Americans and 62 All-OVC Players in his seven seasons as a head coach and has staked a 43-37 record.

He began coaching at TSU in 2003 and served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. At the conclusion of the season in which Reed returned to the TSU sideline, the Tigers led the OVC in total defense for the first time in school history. The defense accomplished the same feat in 2008 finishing at the top of the OVC in total defense.

A keen recruiter as an assistant, Reed was responsible for bring-ing several notable key players into the TSU program. Reed is noted for recruiting Javarris Williams (2009 seven-round draft pick, Kansas City Chiefs), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (2008 first-round draft pick, Arizona Cardinals), Shaun Richardson, Lamar Divens (Baltimore Ravens, 2008) and Cornelius Lewis. He has also coached All-America and professional player, Ja-mar Landrom (Jacksonville Jaguars).

Reed was a four-year letter winner for the TSU Tigers from 1984 - 1988. He capped off his career by being named Sher-idan All-America his senior season. He set the Tiger record for career tackles from his linebacker slot and in 1987, he set the single season record for tackles with 197. He helped lead the Tigers to the second round of the 1986 Division I-AA playoffs and was selected as Defensive MVP in 1987 and 1988.Following completion of his bachelor’s degree, Reed entered the coaching profession. He held positions at Prairie View A&M (Linebackers, 2001), Bethune-Cookman University (Lineback-ers, 92-95), and Seabreeze High School (DC, 96-00) in Daytona Beach, Fla. Within those positions he coached five first-team all-conference linebackers and a pair of All-Americans.

Before coming to TSU, Reed previously coached at East Texas

Baptist College (00-03) in his hometown of Marshall, Texas. He served as defensive coordinator for East Texas Baptist, which launched its football program during the 2000 season.

The 2002 Texas Baptist defense ranked second in their confer-ence in scoring defense and third in rushing defense. The team did not allow points in either the first or third periods through the first eight games in 2002.

Reed is the son of Robert Reed, Jr., an All-America offensive guard for the Tigers in 1963 and 1964 who later played profes-sionally for the Washington Redskins.

Reed is the university’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes rep-resentative and in 2009 he participated in the NCAA Football Coaches Academy. He and his wife, Tamika, are the parents of our children, Terry, Takara, Briah, and Marcel.

In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the cre-ation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season foot-ball series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University.

The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972.

In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games.

The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a cor-poral in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central

Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving educa-tion and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today.

York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-es-tablished by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor.

After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the insti-tution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy.

The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was created in 1999 and salutes amateur and professional sports in Tennessee.

Center Thomas Burton-On the win“It’s always good to get a victory. At the end of the day, we came out and saw that there’s a lot more work to be done, but a victory is a victory. We’re going to take that and run with it.”

-On offensive play and what needs to happen to improve“We for sure came out slow. Going into next week, we just need to have a strong week of practice and make sure everyone is in-tune and locked in to what they’re doing. If everyone does their job, we’ll be fine, but all 11 of us have to do our jobs.”

-On starting the season winning“It’s always good to have a win. I think we can measure ourselves off this victory – see what we did well and see some of the things we need to do well. We’re 1-0. Let’s make it 2-0.”

Linebacker Terry Straughter-On performance of the team“We as a defense in as one and flew around, but there a few more things we have to pick up. We need to be more physical and dial in when making calls and stuff because the little things matter at the end of the game.”

-On satisfaction with defense“Not really because at the end of the day, their offense was slow and as a defense we have to get turnovers off of that. We have to work on that and stripping the ball and being more physical.”

-On biggest thing defense needs for the next game“Communicate more and be live.”

Defensive End Emmanuel Olenga-On the win“It was a pretty good win for our team. That’s the way we want to start the season; we want to start ahead and get a win – it gives us confidence. We have some room to improve. We started a bit lack-adaisical. We didn’t come in as strong as we should have. Looking to the future and facing better opponents, we should attack a little harder. However, looking at today, we got a win. That’s better than a loss.”

-On working in a new system on a new team“On the defensive side of the ball, we’re doing a great job. We work together as a team. It doesn’t matter who has the success. We all want to win. That’s what it comes down to, and I feel like we executed for the most part until the third quarter, but we picked it back up in the fourth. We just want to play for each other on the defensive side of the ball. I communicate great with these guys and I see them as my brothers. We haven’t even scratched the surface of who we can be.”

Running Back Te’Kendrick Roberson-On tonight’s performance“Tonight we did a lot of great things, a lot of bad things. We have to clean up the penalties. We had two touchdowns called back.”

-On cleaning up the offense from this week“We had to talk to the O-Line. We cleaned up a few things and every-thing started hitting.”

-On wining“It feels good. We just have to go back out and get another.”

Tennessee State 6 0 13 7 26Middle Tennessee 0 10 14 21 45

Senior Running Back Seth Rowland- On his 36-yard drive“I wasn’t expecting to go in that drive. I ran in with my helmet off. They called a power play and I ran straight up the middle, got about eight yards. They called another run. I ran it right down the middle like I practiced it in practice. The linemen opened that hole for me and I took off running. It felt great to actually get out there and do my thing.”

- On the running backs“The running backs did great today. Te’Kendrick Roberson, hats off to him, he was running that thing. DeMarco also did his thing, he ran a nice touchdown in. Shawn did his thing and Jordan did his on kickoff. I’m proud of all of them. I think we work really hard. We stepped up today. We’ll be back next week for Jackson State.”

Senior Defensive End Dante’ Ferguson Jr.- On the defensive effort“We came out in the first half explosive. It just came down to missed tackles and missed assignments. Like Coach Reed, we only gave up three big plays until the fourth quarter. A lot of those were missed as-signments, missed tackles and not keeping up with the quarterback. Their quarterback was good, hats off to him, but we should’ve kept up with him.”

- On down starting corners“Well Coach Fisher has a saying, ‘Next man up.’ It was hard losing Da-jour Nesbeth and Domonique Williams, but next man up. Neiman and Nick Harper had to grow up, and I felt like they did. Especially, Nick Harper who got a pick, almost a pick-6. Comes to a point in time when you have to keep pushing on.”

- On the energy after the pick“There was just a change of pace and a momentum switch. It shifted. We were in it and were close, but it felt like we had the momentum to pull away. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out how we wanted.”

- On next week“Looking forward to next week. We play SHC. It’s always a great game to go to in Memphis. A lot of people, great crowd and atmosphere. I’m just excited to get out there and get after Jackson State.”

Senior Defensive End Mekhi Brown- On the defensive effort“We played good the first half. The second half could’ve been better. We didn’t lock in as much towards the end of the fourth quarter. We can’t have that.”

- On play of backups“I feel like the guys did very well at the beginning of the game, we just have to finish better.”

- On this week compared to last week“It’s better competition, I think we played hard. They’re a beautiful team, we just gave them three touchdowns.”

Sophomore Cornerback Ray Coggins- On how the team played“We had a few mistakes, but Coach Fisher’s defense is pretty much a perfect defense, we just have to execute as a team.”

- On the difference in the team compared to last week“This week we watched more film on the team we played, but they came out in different formations that we haven’t seen before. We’re going to get it fixed.”

- On the feeling on the field after the pick“We were excited. We knew we were back in the game and just needed to get another stop.”

NOTES: Weather at kickoff was Sunny, 85, 42 percent humidity, wind 8 mph... Official start time was 6:05 p.m.... Chris Rowland's 96-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter was the second longest in TSU history...

Senior Defensive Tackle Justin Culpepper-On the game"We got out-physical and outplayed. We have to come back next week with a better attitude and more ambition to get another win. We can't stop here becuase the train is going to stall. We have a long season ahead of us. We have to take it game by game, play by play."

-On JSU's offensive movement"As a senior, I have to get everyone on board with me. I'm not stopping for anybody, and we have to keep fighting. We have to come out and play every single week. We have to step it up."

Quarterback Cameron Rosendahl-On the game"They came out and surprised us a little bit. They came out and put points on the board early. Both of us had kick returns right off the bat. Then, we got a little behind and had to come out in the second half, offense wise and score every time we had the ball. It was a tough game. Just didn't go our way tonight."

-On coming in for the final drive before halftime"I took like two throws, but you have to come in the game ready. I got my mind right after I missed one throw. I got locked in and dialed in with my guys. We've been practicing a year and a half now. I know where they're going to be and I throw it there."

-On using all your receivers"I try to spread it around when I play quarterback, see dif-ferent windows of guys that I trust on my receiving corps, so when I see someone open, or sometimes not even open, I throw it to where they are."

-On putting on 30-odd points in one half"I think it says we're a pretty dangerous offense if we glue on all aspects of the game. We have to come out quicker, that's no question. But, I'm happy with the way we finished the game. We have to figure out what's going on."

Freshman Defensive Tackle Terray Jones-On how his first game went"Coach had talked to me throughout the week saying ‘My time is coming. Be ready.’ When I made the first tackle every-thing just came to me. It was my first tackle of the season. I knew from my get off that it was going to be my tackle.

Sophomore Safety Josh Green-On starting“It’s something I’ve been waiting on. I knew I was good enough to help the team out and produce. Coming into this game, all I wanted to do was help the defense and stop the run – the bleeding that was going on. So, I told myself I could come out and play fast and that’s what I did.”

-On leading with nine tackles“It’s not about the feeling it’s the fact that we had a great week of practice and knew that coming into this game, we’d be the ones who would have to make the tackle because we’re the extra body coming down into the hole. We just communicated everything and made sure the guys on the backend were great.”

-On EKU’s run game“They had two pretty solid backs. We came up and started shutting them down pretty well, we just gave up the big plays and that’s what messed us up.”

Senior running back Seth Rowland-On the running backs performance“The overall play of the running backs today – I wouldn’t give us a good day. We have a goal that we want to get to, and that’s 225 yards, and I don’t think we got remotely close. I think we have to get back and work harder. We’re not running hard enough. We’re not hitting our holes. We’re fumbling balls. We have to do better.”

-On leading the rushing game“It feels good. I just wait to get my shot. When I get my shot, people usual-ly say I do pretty well. I don’t always have the most carries, but when I get my carries, I’ll do my best to get some yards. Any time I can get in to help out, I’ll do my best. I just think we have to do better running the ball. 70 yards is good, but I want 100.”

-On offense as a whole“We have to step it up. Defense did enough for us to win this game. They might have had 40 points scored, but offense didn’t hold our end of the bargain. As a team, we need to come together because we’re split. Off the field, we’re tight, but on the field its showing or coming together. We have to come together as a team.”

Senior wide receiver Chris Rowland-On the performance of the team“It’s not a complete game put together yet on both sides of the ball. We can have a good game on offense one game, and a good game on defense the next game. Tonight, we just didn’t perform well. As an offensive unit, I take on that full responsibility. It’s just not good enough as a team.”

-On the back and forth“Field goals versus touchdowns, we’re not going to win a game just by kicking field goals. We’re leaving two or three touchdowns on the field by kicking field goals. It’s things we have to go back to the drawing board and not shoot ourselves in the foot. Simple plays. You’re not going to win a game by just kicking field goals when they’re scoring touchdowns.”

Sophomore punter Kaleb Mosley-On the difference between this year and last“Well, coming into this summer I tried to focus more on punts – focus on more of my mechanics and be more smooth. Last year, I just tried to crush it. This year I’m working on being smooth. It feels good to put our team in a great spot and give us a chance to win.”

-On the kickers“We start the week off on Sunday getting work in. This year, we’re focusing on mechanics.“

NOTES: Kickoff occurred at 6:05 p.m. EST... Tennessee State captains of the game were: Mekhi Brown, Cameron Rosendahl, Lachavious Simmons and Chris Rowland... Eastern Kentucky won the coin toss and deferred... Lawrence Segree caught back-to-back passes for con-secutive first downs – the first two receptions of his career... Kaleb Mosley has six-straight games with a fifty-plus-yard punt... With more than 10-points on the night, Antonio Zita marks the seventh time in his career he has scored in double-digits. He has played in fourteen games... Mosley’s 61-yard punt in the fourth quarter served as the second-longest of his career, just three yards short of his ca-reer-long, 64-yarder kicked against Mississippi Valley State in the season opener... Steven Newbold is tied for number nine in all-time receptions with Tyrone Butterfield... Newbold is now eighth in receiv-ing yards, passing Chris Johnson (2,155), with 2,169 career yards... This is the 31st meeting between Tennessee State and Eastern Ken-tucky... Eastern Kentucky leads 24-7 all-time versus TSU... The two squads played in 2017, a 45-21 Tiger win in Richmond... EKU won the first 11 meetings in the series and 19 of the first 20... The Tigers have won five of the ten... Rod Reed Is 3-5 versus EKU... The game was streamed on ESPN+.

Tennessee State 17 3 3 0 23Jacksonville State 3 14 7 7 31

Junior Linebacker Rhashaun Epting-On the defensive prowess early on"Before we even got out there, we were preaching all week to play hard and stop the run. We knew they did a lot of RPOs and glance routes, and we were just going to let that happen. The big thing was to stop the run, and everyone run to the ball, and when they do that, good things will happen."

-On the defense overall"Honestly, defensively, this is one of the best games we’ve played. It’s just circum-stances of the game, when we had situations to get stops, we just didn’t get stops when we should have and that’s just a learning experience moving forward."

Freshman Defensive Tackle Terray Jones-On the defensive performance "We played hard, we just didn’t come out with the victory. Defense played hard, gave all we had. All we can do is try and win the next games this season."

-On his own sack/forced fumble"When its your time, you have to make it happen. We’ve been running the same stunt all game, so I knew I was going to be able to adjust and make the sack."

-On individual and team improvement for next week"We need to fix all the minor mistakes we made and keep working hard. Don’t lose focus."

Senior Wide Receiver Chris Rowland-On the game"We’re really close to putting together a complete football game. I’m proud of the defense. I feel like offense didn’t do enough today, and I put that on myself. I had a turnover early. Overall, I’m proud of my teammates. They went out and worked hard. That’s the only thing you can ask for. Back to the drawing boards as always."

-On being used in the backfield and as a receiver"It’s exciting. I feel that I can’t play just one position at a time. I have to be utilized in multiple positions whether its receiver or running back. I feel good and running back is something that I’m used to. It’s something I played early on in my career. It’s just reverting back to the old days. The more op-portunities I get to touch the ball, the better I get. Whether there’s a handoff or a pass, I will do anything."

-On teams menatality"We’ve got six games left. We’re very close to putting together a full game. We’re not discouraged at all. I would say we’re the best 1-5 football team in the nation who just took on the #20 team in the nation. Blow for blow down to the finish. I’m not discouraged, we’re not going to grow weary, we’re go-ing to come out each week and there’s no quit in this team because we’re an extension of our head coach Rod Reed."

Senior Running Back Te'kendrick Roberson-On the game"We started out how we wanted to, we came out strong, but at the end of the game, we didn’t finish, we didn’t complete the job. We’re not giving up. We’re trying to figure out how to finish this season 6-0. Coach Reed tells us we can’t give up. We can’t."

-On multiple guys having positive rushing yardage"We went in the week, we already knew we had to run the ball to win the game from film."

Senior Wide Receiver Chris Rowland-On having a successful season individually, but not winning"It’s tough. The individual statistics are great, but when you’re not getting a win in the win/loss column, it’s not. It doesn’t matter at this point."

-On turnovers"The turnover bug is going to kill any team. You can’t put the ball on the ground and expect a win. That’s something we have to take more seriously. You have to look in the mirror now. Something we haven’t had to worry about in the past was turning over the ball, and all of a sudden the bug has come around, but that’s something that can be fixed. You’re not going to win the game putting the ball on the ground."

-On the target on his back"Just come out, work hard and watch a lot of film, know what scheme the defense is going to put up. Everyone is going to try and give me their best shot. I don’t really get into the jaw jacking and all that. I just come in everyday and work hard."

-On if the season is over"At this point, we’re playing for pride. We can finish the sea-son .500. We have Austin Peay next week for homecoming, we haven’t lost there. It’s going to be exciting with the activ-ities, but back to work."

Sophomore Linebacker Jahsun Bryant-On being back on the field this week"It felt great. I was out there with the entire line, my defen-sive brothers, I wish we could’ve gotten the win. This week we were in the hole which was a great plan, but we let them score."

-On what has to change for next week’s success"As a team, we’re going to get into the film room, be locked in at practice and the energy has to change. We have to be up tempo, we have to have a short memory because we did just lose, but everyone has to be held accountable and has to come in and do their best."

-On moving up in the record booksI’m just doing my job for team. All praise goes to God.

-On what needs to transfer from tonight’s gameWe need to bring this energy. Tonight, I saw an energy this team hasn’t had since week one and week two. It helped us a lot having energy on the sideline.

-On the halftime speechHe told us to play four seconds at a time. The average play on a football field is about four seconds, and he told us to give all of our effort for those four seconds. That’s what really got us out there.

-On the mood after taking the leadWe were amped! There were less straight faces, more smiles, ev-eryone was jumping around and the crowd was feeding into it. It was just an amazing experience.

Redshirt freshman Safety Josh Green-On how he feels about his last two gamesI’ve been feeling good. Coaches have been telling me to play fast. In two games back to back getting a pick is a blessing. I just want to help my team get the victory.

-On moving forward to upcoming gamesWe just have to believe that we have a great team. We have to play together and have pride. Pride in TSU and pride in Big Blue. We need to take control and not be quiet.

Redshirt senior Offensive Lineman Thomas Burton-On how the offense played tonightToday we came out and we threw the ball really well, we ran the ball really well. We were able to get into good positions for Zita to come in and score.

-On the locker room at halftimeWe got into the locker room and agreed that we have to minimize the mistakes, we have to do our jobs to the best of our ability. We went out second half and executed.

-On what we need to bring from this game into the futureThe finishing attitude. We have to come out and finish every game, every play, every time.
