HOUND BYTES
Wilkerson on the team's wins on Senior Day…
"It feels great, and not only a couple dubs, but a couple major victories. I just think it shows that our team is on the up and we're going to finish out the year strong. It shows a lot about the four years that we've put in. We get to leave a legacy, hopefully, and leave a team that's going to stay in the top-10 rankings."
 
Eiteljorge on what worked well for him…
"Staying aggressive. I've been trying to get into my offense, having confidence in myself. I'm glad we were able to pick up two dubs, two blowout wins, overall great Senior Day for me."
