On focus going into second half of season
"It's important for us to peak now. Like coach said, it's better to peak
now than in the beginning of the season. We feel like we're starting to
click and we have to win four of these last five games. The good thing is
that our destiny is in our own hands. We're not counting on anybody else
to beat anybody or lose. It's whether or not we can win these ball games
or not."
What team has to improve on in second half of season
"Offensively we just need to work on getting better each week and putting
points on the board. We need to get better in the red zone. I'm not sure
what our percentage is in scoring in the red zone, but I know it's not
what we'd like it to be."
LB WAYNE ROGERS
On beating Memphis
"If we can beat Memphis, and you know that they beat East Carolina,
therefore you have a good chance to beat East Carolina. It's going to be
a tougher game there because we have to beat them there, but I think we
have a great opportunity. The team had some bumps and bruises that are
healed now and I think we've come together a lot more in this off-week.
We've worked hard in short practices. I think we're ready to get back on
the field and show what we can do."
