- 22 Georgia Tech at Camping World Stadium. The performance should propel the former Timpview High star into more consideration in April’s NFL draft.
- Time and again the 6-foot-4, 250-pounder came up big time and time again for the Cougars, who had to go to the passing game almost exclusively with Martin watching on the sidelines and quarterback Bear Bachmeier ailing with a sprained left ankle.“It felt great.
- It is so special, just seeing everyone after we won that game and the fight that we had as a team, and being able to play like that, it is so special,” Ryan said.
