Running back Emmett Johnson

On having coaches confident in him
“It’s unfortunate, I can’t put the ball on the ground for my teammates most importantly. We kind of live in a what’s next mentality, and my teammates had my back and knew I was going to go out there and keep fighting for them. I just had the what’s next mentality, and just kept playing hard for my team.”

On game experience for young players
“Extremely important. I'm really happy a lot of guys got in the game today, which is great. They've been working their butts off in practice, but I told those guys that this experience is everything, so them getting in early was great and I'm just excited for them and their future careers. They work really hard in practice, so I'm just really proud of them and they are just going to keep stacking days, keep getting better.”
