Quotes from the Associated Press

Praising his WRs, the "Dreadheads", Colt said:
"Hands down, they're the best receiving corps in the nation. That's biased, I know. But they are." (AP)

AP Note: "Jason Rivers, Ryan Grice-Mullins, Davone Bess and C.J. Hawthorne, who all have dreadlocks that flow from the bottom of their helmets, make up the Dreadheads and have combined for 340 receptions for 4,273 yards and 43 touchdowns."

About their WR group, Bess said:
"We each have a different dimension. Together, it pretty much completes the whole package of being a receiver." (AP)

Crediting his WRs for his big numbers, Colt said:
"I think that's why my numbers have been as good as they are, is because the receivers around me. Their best attribute is their ability to play together." (AP)

Praising UH's WRs, Georgia DE Marcus Howard said:
"They're the best set of wide receivers since I've been in college football." (AP)

About how they don't fight over who gets the ball, RGM said:
"There's definitely no selfish souls on this team. We're just happy to be out there." (AP)

AP Note: "Rivers, who was married two weeks ago, said since the team passes 60 times a game, the receivers all know they'll have their fare share. At 6-foot-2, Rivers is considered the most prototypical NFL receiver of the group, but rarely garners the attention his counterparts do. However, coach June Jones tends to go to Rivers in big games. In Hawai'i's regular season finale against Washington on Dec. 1, Rivers caught 14 passes for 167 yards and four touchdowns. In last year's Hawai'i Bowl against Arizona State, Rivers had 14 catches for a bowl-record 308 yards and two TDs."

Rivers said that playing in their pass-heavy offense has been a:
"receiver's dream." (AP)

About how they have the option to change routes at the line, depending on how the defender plays them, Bess said:
"I think our offense is kind of like organized street ball. It's fun. At any given moment, you could be getting the ball." (AP)

About how they feel that no defense can stop *all* of them, Hawthorne said:
"Any threat you can think of, we pretty much have that threat." (AP)

About how he hasn't faced a group of WRs like UH's all season, CB Asher Allen said:
"They're explosive and this is the best tandem we've seen all year." (AP)

About how they plan to be physical and make the WRs pay on each play, Allen said:
"They just can't catch the ball and run out of bounds or fall down without any kind of punishment. You have to get your hands on them. If they're able to run free, it's going to be a long day." (AP)

About the dreadlocks on their WRs, RGM said:
"I don't think anyone is cutting them any time soon. We have fun with it and our fans back home love them." (AP)
