Appalachian State Postgame Quotes:

Quarterback - Jamal Jackson:

On the first quarter:
|“We were sloppy in the beginning, we had to settle back down, defensively they did a good job come up with those stops, so kudos to the defense.”

On moving the play of the wide receivers:
“All of those receivers, Peacock, Washington, and Lott those are definitely playmakers, it is my job to spread the ball around.”

 Cornerback - DeAndre Presley:

On the position switch to defensive back:
“It happened on Wednesday, Coach came to me in the weight room and told me we were short on DBs and that we needed help and I told him I would love to do it.”

On what it was like to play corner:
“I got picked on all week that I wasn't going to hit anybody and my first tackle was a forced fumble.”

Head Coach – Jerry Moore:

On the play of Samford:
“I think they are a very good football team, I think they are well coached and their kids play hard.  I was impressed that they were as physical as they are and I was impressed with what they did in the last minute of the game, they showed a lot of class and they never quit.”

On Jamal Jackson:
“Jamal for a year and half now has practiced well, its not like he has just been sitting there waiting.  He practices hard, he practices as if he were the starter for a year, so the Citadel was no big deal for him because he practices that way.”

Samford Postgame Quotes

Head Coach - Pat Sullivan:

On the game as a whole:
“Jerry has another outstanding football team with their quarterback, Cadet, Quick and they got good players on defense. I was disappointed in our team today in that we didn't play our best. I think we were a little tight when we got started. We dropped passes and didn't come out of the gate very good.”

On the gameday atmosphere at The Rock:
“If our fans could see the atmosphere that has been built here, and that's a huge plus. I'm not so sure that our kids especially the young ones weren't a little star struck. That is a tribute to App State, to Jerry and the program.”

On Samford's game plan:
“We were going to go out and do our game plan and we know what kind of outstanding athlete DeAndre Presley is.  We weren't going to go and pick on one guy; I think as good as App State is across the board with all their players that would make it a tough situation.”
