Coach Quote: “Cameron Green stepped up when Tredrick re-injured his ankle and all our backs ran hard,” said Knights coach Brian Osborne.”But McCollum had about 300 yards against us in the playoff game last year and ran over us again. We are going to have to do a better job of tackling.”
“And despite all that, we were one stop from getting the ball back for a chance to win.”
Player quote: “I hurt the ankle a couple of weeks ago and had to be careful. I was running hard early wanted to contribute more but just have to be careful with it,” said Wilburn after the game. Wilburn played both offense and defense for the Knights.
