Coach Rodriguez on Epps' Performance

“i had this question, like, i don't know, is dj an open field guy? make-you-miss? he had done some of it, but in that game he showed a whole lot of stuff right there. there was one play there was five or six guys he made miss. he did that quite a bit and for our slot receivers, and where he's at a lot of times, that's part of the key. like, there's going to be somebody there, but dj was phenomenal in the open field. better than i had seen him all year”
