“I don’t think there is any one in our program that’s looking ahead of this one.”
“The whole team is very excited –we are tired of hitting each other you know we want to show our fans our talent,” wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith said. “We’ve been practicing all season very hard and want to compete against everybody and show everybody what the team has done and what the team can accomplish.”

“I see a world of change in this team from what I saw in December but that still has to play itself out. These guys have worked their butts off I see market improvement but in order for them to realize all the gains that they have made they gotta go out and focus and execute on Saturday.”
