On the miscommunications against Vanderbilt and what it means to have a miscommunication on a football play…
“If everybody is not on the same page, it’s not going to work out. The defense has to work as a unit. Sometimes, one side of the field is playing another call and the other side is in a completely different coverage, and they don’t mesh well together. So, if we are not on the same page, bad things happen. We just have to get it fixed and get the call from one side to the other.”
On the red zone defense and some of the issues the defense has faced with keeping teams out of the end zone…
“The biggest thing is us. It is nothing that the opponents are doing, nothing we haven’t seen before, and nothing we can’t stop. It is more of an us thing. It goes back to communication, being on the same page, and focusing on the little things. That is one thing we have taken a big emphasis on this off week is just working on the things we need to work on and correct. This is something we take a lot of pride on and it’s something that we’ve been lacking for a while, so we’re going to get back on that.”
On the reception he gave up on 4th & 8 and what went through his mind when he gave up that catch…
“Man, I’m still mad about that play. I take pride in coverage, that’s my thing as a DB and the first thing one of my coaches told me when I got back was ‘He’s on scholarship, too.’ He’s a really good player and he’s going to have a great career. Going against him, I respect him, and I knew the route was coming because I got the same route on Wednesday and Thursday. I messed it up on Wednesday, I covered it on Thursday. I watched tape on it on the flight there. I knew it was coming and I slid and just looked just a second late and he got me. He’s a great player, he's on scholarship, too, but it’s tough. You never want to give up those plays especially in that type of scenario, but I have to learn from it.”

On how he got his last name Jacksaint…
“Back when I was in my freshman year of high school, I was living with my biological dad and my stepmother at the time. At this point, I had just started playing football, maybe for about 3 years. I had just got accepted into St. Thomas Aquinas down in South Florida. It is one of the most prestigious schools in the nation for football. It was one of my dreams because my cousin played at St. Thomas, and I looked up to him, so I knew I wanted to play there. At the time, my parents were into whatever they were getting into and ended up separating. I started living with my youth football coach, his wife, and his two kids. I planned to live there until my dad got on his feet, at first. After the first year, I wasn’t hearing from my dad much. He wasn’t calling me; I was trying to call and get in contact with him, but he wasn’t answering. So, I stayed there until my senior year. When it was time to apply for college and sign my letter of intent, I needed a legal parent or guardian, and I didn’t have either one of them. I was 18 at the time so I could make the decision myself. I decided to let them adopt me, and that’s how I got the last name Jacksaint.”
His advice to Brock Bowers on going through a potentially season-ending injury...
"Keep your head up. You're definitely going to have doubts. You're definitely going to be down on yourself. You're going to be missing a lot of being with the team. The work, the grind. You'll miss that part, but definitely keep your head up. It's a time for you to get your mind and body right and focus on the injury. Focus on trying to get back and healthy. I know Brock is a hard worker, and he comes in and works his tail off every day, so he's going to attack this like he attacks everything."
On Carson Beck's immediate play response to throwing an interception...
"That definitely caught me off guard. I was in on that play too, and I'm watching him cover down, and I was not expecting him to through his body at him like that. That just shows you the type of guy Carson is. Even though he's the quarterback, he's not scared of getting hit, and he's not scared to hit somebody. It's that type of toughness and that type of grit that he brings to the offense."

On how Monroe Freeling did being put out in the Vanderbilt game...
"He stepped up. He showed no fear, no anxiousness. He just stepped up in the moment and took care of business. I think he did great."
On the key to success for the guys up front...
"Reverting back to our fundamentals. We're still not satisfied. We might have improved, but we're still not at our standard. Like I said, going back to the fundamentals and going back to the basics is the main thing."
On how the team responds to the narrative that the team is done now that Brock Bowers is out...
"Our morale is good, but our whole philosophy is 'next man up.' We've got some guys that can make some big plays, and they've got a big opportunity. Some guys need to step up and take care of business."
On Oscar Delp as a player, teammate, and friend...
"He's a really gutsy player. He'll jump in the air, I mean Y'all have seen him do front flips, so he's a really gutsy player. He does a great job at coming to work every day and trying to get better every single day. That's something he does really well."
