BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana will face Tennessee in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fla., on Thursday, Jan. 2, with a 7 p.m. ET kick on ESPN.
Five Hoosiers met with the media this past week. Below are quotes from each leading up to the game.
LB Reakwon Jones
"Right now we are just working on fundamentals and technique. We are getting better, individually. We are making sure guys get better and get rested. We are continuing to work on the playbook so we can be at our best when it matters most."
P Haydon Whitehead
"The extra time gives us a chance to prepare for the game and Tennessee, but also, being a bowl game that is not played until the new year, it gives us the opportunity to have a couple days off. It has been beneficial for the work we have put in both on the field and in the weight room."
OL Caleb Jones
"It's really all about making sure that we come out here every day and give 110 percent effort. It doesn't matter the situation or what we're doing, if we're out here, we don't get many opportunities, so we have to make sure we capitalize on each and every one."
WR Ty Fryfogle
"It's going to be really exciting, just being down there in the heat and the weather, playing an SEC team. Being from SEC country, being able to play a SEC team is something I really look forward to doing."
DL Demarcus Elliott
"At the first start of the season, our goal was to win a bowl game, just not make it, but win it. We've just been going off that every day and building on it. To have that opportunity with these guys, we're all grateful and ready for it."
