Cornerback Dezz Ricks and tight end Micah Riley met the media Tuesday as the Aggies held their weekly player availability inside the Coolidge Football Performance Center.
It definitely got our overall morale up. We know what we're capable of when we're at our best and we're on the same page. Just using that, regardless of the opponent we play, going into this next one, if we're all on the same page--regardless of who we play--the same thing can happen.
-- Dezz Ricks on the effect of Saturday's winWe all know it's going to be a great game. They're a really good football team. We're a really good football team as well. So I think just staying calm and collected going into the week, understanding your preparation and why we're doing certain things on offense and defense, and just calming yourself down before the game is the main thing.
-- Micah Riley on guys going home or to a former school keeping emotions in checkIt's always important, regardless of where you play. I think the road amplifies it for sure. there's a reason why (the turnover is) the number one thing hanging on our walls all over this building is because I think it's the number one thing that indicates success. If you want to go win a football game, a really good starting point is protecting the football and taking it away. And so that's something we preach and obviously will play a big role in our success on Saturday.
