Titus Young Talks Boise State

Gotta feeling a lot has to do with Chris Petersen’s “whole man” approach to developing his players and the blue collar work ethic and teamwork they developed at BSU. Titus was a project for Coach Pete, and it worked beyond expectations. Dang but Titus just looks happy to be alive and a Lion.

"I expect for him to be similar to DeSean Jackson," Burleson said. "He is fast, he is thin, he is light, he is not afraid to wear Titus Young Lions Jersey, go up and make that big play with his hands, as you saw."

“There’s a reason we drafted him so high and had such high expectations,” HC Jim Schwartz said. “He’s going to make a lot of plays in this offense.”

On his relationship with Stafford:
“It’s amazing,” Young said. "We actually talk to each other on a day-to-day basis. We actually have a cool friendship. We actually ask each other, ’How’s your day going?’ It’s stuff besides football now. I can definitely say our friendship is growing slowly but surely.
“Before it was like, ‘Hey kid, what’s up? Do you job.’ That’s it,” Young continued. “Now we crack jokes and stuff like that.”
Stafford, with a smile on his face, denies Young’s assessment.
“I’ve always said hi to him,” Stafford said. “He’s just lying to you guys.”

“I told (Young) that butt-whipping I put on you benefited,” Delmas (Detriot DB)said. “But you know he is a dog. He is a very hard worker. He is going to be very good some day.”

“Titus is a diamond in the rough who is rough around the edges,” receivers coach Shawn Jefferson said

“I leaned in after he made that catch and I said, ‘That was the catch of the game,’ in my eyes,” Burleson said. “It really opened up the door. We were on our way to making it a convincing game. But that play right there, digging us out of that third-down hole, was huge.”

“All week we kind of saw how their safeties played on the backside and we just took a shot,” Young said. “Matt threw it in there. I knew he was going to throw it to me the whole time and I know he doesn’t trust me that much yet so I had to make a play. I just happened to make that play.”

“When that happens,( doubling Megatron) your other guys have to make plays, and Titus did that today,” Schwartz said. “Third-down-and-long and (he makes) a huge, huge play going over the middle and out-jumping a defender. That was a big-time play.”

“It’s a great feeling to be part of a successful win,” Young said. “I know I have a long ways to go. I’m going to keep at it. Tomorrow I’m going to look at the film and see how I did. I feel like there are a lot of things I could have did better.”

“He’s truly the definition of a little brother,” Burleson said. “He’s a handful, but we love him, and we’re not going to let him fly away from underneath our wings. It’s good to get him going though. As you can see when he’s out there, he has the biggest smile on his face, and all he wants to do is make a play; It’s all he talks about all game long. It’s good to see him out there making a play because he’s going to help us this season.”

I LOVE ME SOME TITUS YOUNG!!
