Postgame Remarks from Coach Loren Johnson speaking with Gary Hess & Gary Criswell on WRVA Radio:
On QB Khristian Martin:
"He's growing and maturing. Making checks at the line, putting us in better position. He's continuing to get better,"
On the defense:
"It's your rival and you would like to shut them out. Ian Wynn played well at the safety position. The guys on the perimeter and on the corners did a great job. Coach Simmons challenged them. You've got to get pressure. The four guys up front do a good job."
On sophomore LB Brennan Johnson's play:
"Number 11 is pretty good and some people have recognized it. Tennessee offered him last night. As a dad and a coach, I was in awe about that one. That's the number one team in the country. He does a phenomenal job galvanizing people. He is a leader amongst men, talking to people the right way.
On unbeaten regular season:
"With the schedule that we played, the number of miles that we traveled, the teams we played against... this is a great group. This environment and atmosphere is like none other. The team concept and chemistry is essential in any football program. I'm satisfied with where we are and what's happened. We just have to continue to work towards that goal and finish the job."
Danny Lewis will have more to come later...
