#4 Oscar Delp | TE | So.
On his connection with Carson Beck...
"It was awesome being able to get in there and play with Carson and Brock throughout the game. It was a lot of fun. The first game I can say I really contributed to was during Samford and it was one I'll remember. It was just awesome."
On focusing on week two as a contributor on the team...
"It is definitely a big thing to get that first game under your belt. It was awesome being out there and getting to experience that with the great crowd we had last week. I think it helped to get that first game out of the way, and I'm excited for the game this week."
On the offensive improvements for week two...
"Fixing the little things, certain things on certain plays that may have gotten busted or may not have been handled as well as we have. We work those in practice just fixing the little things and going out there preparing for Ball State and what they bring."
#86 Dillon Bell | WR | So.
On becoming more coachable and earning a role as a freshman…
“Everything is very fast paced here. I’s a big switch from high school, especially with the heat. Having the heat and coach getting on our tail, it helped me a lot, especially when it came to big moments last year in the game. It’s basically not letting the moment get too big when all the pressure is on.”
On what he’s seen from C.J. Smith as of late…
“C.J. is my roommate. He’s been putting in a lot of work. When we don’t have practice, we’re always running hills or working on the jugs machine. He’s definitely earned everything that’s coming his way and he’s a very good guy.”
On what brought him to the University of Georgia from Texas…
“A.D. Mitchell and the coaching staff. But A.D., we went to the same middle school, and I used to train with him in high school as well. He’s always been a guy I’ve looked up to from a young age.”
