He says Boykin has made some mistakes but the program isn’t built on one player. “He was being heckled and he responded to it, unfortunately”. He said the quarterback still has the support of his teammates. The senior finished his career with 10,728 yards passing and 86 touchdowns. White caught 19 passes for 258 yards, Nixon picked up 66 yards on 16 catches and Doctson led them all with 79 receptions for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns.
