Post Game
Boll Weevil Head Coach Hud Jackson had this to say after the game: “It’s all about opportunities. We have not taken advantage of those opportunities at all. ECU played better. We were playing catch up the entire game. Total of six plays cost us. Have to make those. Football is about catching, throwing, blocking, and tackling. Making Plays. Winning those big play moments. We did not do that tonight. I have to be better as a head coach. My team has to be prepared to win those moments. So I will work harder to make our team understand that. Our backs are against the wall and the only way to fix that is to fight harder. Period.”
