BGSU Coach Gregg Brandon
"It was a great effort by our defense today. We put good pressure on their quarterback."
"Our passing game when it gets going is really tough to stop. I think we are doing a really nice job of protecting the quarterback and when you do that, coupled with the fact that we are not turning over the football that is why we are winning and the players know that."
"Our receivers are playing their butts off right now. They are catching the ball, finding seams and Omar does a great job of getting the ball to them."
"We opened the game in a formation called "Bobcat" and we got nine yards and then they had to measure and that gave them time to make adjustments. We thought we would do it on the road against a good defense and see if we could take advantage of the opportunity."
On the 52-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham
"Shaun (Suisham) had a little breeze behind him. I knew he could kick it, I just didn,t know if he could kick it between the goalposts. He's done a nice job with his kickoffs and extra points and he is stepping up his game."
"I thought his kick was a huge momentum boost."
"We always talk about playing as a team. I thought we came together well today. We knew after the blocked punt and the onside kick that it was our (the defense) game and we needed to win it."
"We pride ourselves that when we get to crunch time we try to keep them out of the end zone."
On his 52-yard field goal
"I was confident I could make it."
"When I get a chance to be on the field I am trying to help our defense (with his kickoffs) and I feel like I am helping the team when I do that."
"It was a great accomplishment for our offense to come out against one of the best defenses in the MAC and to put up good numbers, especially with no penalties."
"We feel like we are a great offensive team with a lot of weapons. Steve (Sanders) is getting open and making plays."
Everyone works hard on the team. At any given time anyone can make a play. We are clicking on all cylinders, which is good heading into November.
