Jonathan Todd

They should have challenged the decision nominating him, which outlined the terms and conditions of his relationship with the Commission.

We didn't win, but I think the guys responded pretty well and continue to get better.

Allan Ray

For a freshman, that was a great play, just having the confidence to go up there and make a play like that at that time in the game. He went up and challenged him and made a great play.

Larry Wachtel
