Freddie played better than we thought. He beat Fred Bennett on the first touchdown. You'd think with a freshman wide receiver and a guy who started about three years, Fred would eat him up. But he gave him a little stick step, and Cade threw it in there.
Brandon has been playing pretty well in a lot of different areas and, obviously, on special teams, ... His game as a receiver is starting to form up. You can see it on film. You can see that he's healthy again. He's running with speed and making some good cuts.
Brad was the best receiver in the state in his senior year in high school, ... He's a warrior. That's why I recruited him. He's very competitive. That's why he started for me as a freshman.
They take some shots and Higgins is having a good year. What (UTEP) coach (Mike) Price has done is put his playmakers in position to make plays. He'll return punts and kicks and he's definitely their go-to receiver that can make it happen for them.

If we could find somebody that fits a role, maybe a guy that's a special teams player but also can play receiver, or somebody that's more polished as a receiver who can help us in the game plan, that'd be fine. Or it could be someone who plays a different position.
I wouldn't say he's the best receiver in the league, but he's one of the best, ... He's the best route runner. One day he probably will be the No. 1 receiver in the NFL.
We don't expect Travis to play. He hasn't progressed to the point to where he is effective or can be at full speed. A receiver not at full speed makes it pretty tough.
Tough play right there. I looked at every receiver and no one was open. Then I looked back, saw the (opening) and took it down.
Touch is more important than arm strength. You want to really allow the receiver to run underneath the throw. It'll give you a little margin for error if you undershoot it a bit.
