Bowling Green Post Game Quotes
Head Coach Gregg Brandon:
"Josh Harris was phenomenal today, I mean, he must have completed almost every pass."
"Greg Studrawa, he does a tremendous job with our offense, Tim Beckman with the defense. Those guys ... I can't give them enough credit."
"When you have a bunch of guys that believe, you have a chance."
(On the Falcons going to the MAC Championship:)
"We really felt that we deserved to be here ... This program deserves to be champions."
(On WR Charles Sharon:)
"He could be an acrobat, if he wasn't a receiver."
"We deserve a bowl bid, that's the bottom line."
"Our fans, I can't thank them enough for cranking it up. You've got to be here Thursday night. It may be two degrees and 80 mile-per-hour wind, but hey; let's go, put on all your clothes and bundle up."
Charles Sharon:
(On the second half:)
"We came out clicking and pulled if off."
Cole Magner:
(On his 48-yard TD pass to Josh Harris:)
"We've been repping it for pretty much the last couple weeks, and finally got it called, and it worked like a charm."
Josh Harris:
(On the Miami regular-season game:)
"Ever since that game, we talked about having the opportunity to play these guys again. Now we've got it. I couldn't ask for anything else."
(On the MAC Championship game:)
"It (Thursday) is going to come fast, and that's good, because I don't want to wait."
"There is only one champion, and that is what we want to be."
Mitch Hewitt:
"Any time you can host a team for the MAC Championship, it's a great opportunity."
Toledo Post Game Quotes
UT Coach Tom Amstutz
(On running the ball in the first half)
"It was part of the game plan. Out there the traction was a little different, so it took control a little bit of some of the things you could do. Part of the game plan was to keep the ball and try to get long drives and contain the football."
(On BGSU offense)
"They did a nice job of mixing the run and pass in there. Basically, their offense took control of the game in the second half.
(Is the Falcons' success due to QB Josh Harris)
"A lot of it is. He's the guy running the show and runs their offense and makes the plays. He did a nice job of throwing the ball and getting it to their receivers."
Toledo QB Bruce Gradkowski
"We came out fighting and we never gave up out there. We kept fighting. The defense played hard. They had a great first half. We fought the whole game. Bowling Green did a great job out there. Them players, they're tough. It was a battle the whole game. We just came up a little short. Now we just know where we need to set the bar next year."
(On the field conditions)
"Both teams were playing in the same weather, on the same field."
Toledo Defensive Lineman Chaz Williams
"Josh Harris is an excellent quarterback. He just came out in the second half and took over the ball game. Bowling Green was just the better team today."
