Rickey Bustle’s Post FIU Press Conference
HIGHLIGHTS FROM LOUISIANA'S RAGIN' CAJUNS FOOTBALL HEAD COACH RICKEY BUSTLE’S PRESS CONFERENCE FOLLOWING SATURDAY’S GAME AGAINST FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL
On last week’s game…
“My concern all week was handling our victory from last week. I think 90
percent handled it well.”
“We didn’t have our best game. We just have to make sure we are focused.”
“We played pretty consistently and threw the long ball well.”
“We don’t really have any superstars, just guys that are all working together to score points.”
“I thought we played really well up front. We have to find a way to get more pressure on the quarterback.”
On this week’s game against New Mexico State…
“There’s no doubt that we have to be more focused for our next game.”
“Defensively they look pretty good.”
“I think it’s going to be a typical Sun Belt New Mexico State-UL game. “
“They’ve played good teams. It’s hard to find out about your team until you play in your conference.”
On Babb…
“I think his performance was good. He always gives you an opportunity to be successful.”
“He made some good throws, one of which was the touchdown before half.”
“He’s playing smart and patient. It’s hard to be patient when we are in a spread out offense.”
On New Mexico State’s two QB system…
“It makes you prepare differently for the two quarterbacks.”
“The thing they do now is they keep them both on the field. They’ll line one up as a wide receiver.”
“If it’s just a matter of substitution, we have a game plan and can go to our chart. But when you keep them both in the game you don’t know which one is coming to the line of scrimmage and I think that is more effective.”
On teams early success…
“I think they are very appreciative of where they are. We can’t lose sight of our goal, which is competing for the conference championship. As you win, each game gets bigger.”
“I just told them don’t start getting caught up in the talk. Just think about the small things that got you where you are.”
“We will practice hard today, hard tomorrow and hard on Wednesday.“
On the running game…
“It’s coming along and that’s a credit to our offensive line. We had a couple of drives that ate up the clock.”
“I think it’s been very effective.”
On development of BJ Crist…
“He’s been a guy that has never lost hope or faith in himself. He’s hung in there and now he’s reaping the benefits of his hard work.”
