“It’s definitely been tough going to some of the tracks this year, we get some of the most boos now,” Wallace said. “Everybody says as long as they’re making noise that’s fine, but you know, I get booed for different reasons and that’s the tough thing to swallow.

We feel really good with where we’re at with this quarterback position and that’s important right now, and Justin needs to be given a lot of credit for the way he handled yesterday.”
