Memorial Stadium
On freshman defensive backs Major Culbert, Rickey Thenarse, Anthony West and Corey Young
“As you watched them develop in training camp and the early part of the season, you could definitely tell they had ability. They continue to get better with their individual work and their teamwork out (on the field). You never really know until you get them in a game situation, and their (Culbert, Thenase and Young) performance in a game was solid. As they mature and the more game reps they get, the better they will be.”
On the difference preparing for Kansas quarterbacks Adam Barmann or Kerry Meier
“They are the same (to prepare against). They run a little different offense when each is in there. You have to prepare for them both, but it’s a similar offense.”
On KU’s 2006 offense vs. the 2005 edition
“They are doing a lot of the same stuff. They created a lot of problems for us last year. We had times where we didn’t take care of our responsibilities, so those are the things we are working hard on this week to make sure we don’t have the same mistakes.”
On Adam Carriker’s performance against Troy
“He’s done an outstanding job. He was a dominant player on the offensive tackle and was solid against the run. He was a dominant player out there. That’s something we’re going to expect of Adam every week.”
