QUOTE TO NOTE: “It helps coming out and having a big game. I’ve realized like, ‘I can do this’ and I’m supposed to be here, so it helps me going into this Georgia week. I feel like I can still go out there and contribute no matter who it is.” — WR Jalen Knox on the development of his confidence as a freshman.
