Mike Shula Quotes
ON A-DAY GAME
"I told the players I thought this was a great way to end spring practice. I thought the crowd was great. It's by far the largest since we've been here. I told our players these fans are really interested to see what we're going to be about. I thought we did some good things and our effort was great."
"Our execution was good at times and not good at times. Overall I was pleased with the way our younger guys handled the crowd today and kept their poise."
Player Quotes
DJ Hall
ON A-DAY GAME
"It felt good. It was good to see all the fans come out today to support the A-Day game. It makes you feel excited about the season because it was only the A-Day game and there was a bunch of people out there. You just want to go out there and make plays and make the fans happy."
ON HIS TOUCHDOWN
"I was running down field and John Parker (Wilson) stepped up because he was getting blitzed. He threw it short and I came back to the ball. Simeon (Castille) thought I was still running when I came back. I didn't see anyone across the field. Then I got a couple of great blocks and just sprang it.
John Parker Wilson
ON A-DAY GAME
"I think we had a good day. We had too many interceptions and it left a sour taste in my mouth, but I think we did good overall."
ON DJ HALL TOUCHDOWN PASS
"My arm got hit and they said it was a sack but I don't think it was. DJ came back and got it. We talked about throwing it under like that and him stopping and coming to get it. He did it and made the whole defense miss."
Juwan Simpson
THIS SPRING OVERALL
"This spring overall has been pretty good. I can't be happier with the team. I think we made great strides defensively considering we lost a lot of good players. A lot of young guys have stepped up and done a great job."
ON TERRENCE JONES' PROGRESSION
"He's always been good whether he's been a back up or starting. Now that he's in a starting role he has more exposure and he did a heck of job."
Bryan Kilpatrick
ON SPRING PRACTICE AND TODAY'S GAME
"It felt good to play and they ran the ball well. Defensively we played well because we got five interceptions."
