“We’ve got to send up our prayers. I went back after the game and stayed with him. I picked up his parents up from the airport, and stayed with him Sunday for a while before I came back here,” he said. “Coach Howell and Coach Thornton went down and stayed with him for four hours, so we’re doing all we can do and control what we can control. We [have] to understand that the Lord [has] everything under control and we [have] to do what we can do to just play football and go to school.”
