After the Georgia game, Riley Cooper was on ESPN’s First Take to talk about the unbelievable one-handed catch he had for a touchdown. In the interview, he was asked about his baseball career and signing with the Texas Rangers.

The Troy Trojans have had their own Tim Tebow this week. Redshirt freshman Cory Wilkes has ran the scout team QB for Troy. Still no word yet if Chuck Norris wears Cory Wilkes pajamas.

We need to see more of this from Deonte Thompson
