Sounds like Dobbs is ready!!!!
"He and Riley (Ferguson) both - I've said this before and I'll say it again - are as advanced for freshmen that I've ever had," said Bajakian. "Their knowledge of the playbook and their skillsets are good. From a game plan standpoint, I feel confident that [Dobbs] has a firm understanding of everything we've done in the past and everything we're planning on this week."
(On Dobbs entering the O-line meeting room)
"I did not [know he was going to attend the meeting.] But I'm not surprised either," said Bajakian. "That's the kind of guy he is and that's the presence he has."
(On Dobbs' confidence in the Bama game)
"If you know Josh at all or if you've been around him at all, that's how he carries himself all the time," said Bajakian. "He's a very confident player and person. He was able to step into that situation - even in those conditions - and exude that confidence.
"As much as anything, his presence with the entire offense has stepped up a notch. He's got a little bit more command presence knowing that he's the guy. He's exhibiting more confidence."
(On Dobbs' improvements over the season)
"His throwing mechanics have improved; his accuracy has improved, and obviously his knowledge of the offense has improved," said Bajakian. "He started at ground zero and now I feel he has a great grasp of the offense. Part of the process in becoming a champion is improving on a daily basis, and he's approached each day with that in mind."
"We'll use his skillset to our advantage," said Bajakian. "He does a lot of good things and I don't think you can ever play scared, no matter what position you are. No matter how healthy, we're going out to win the game. That's our goal. We're not going to keep any bullets in the gun."
