Mobile, Ala. -
BGSU Coach Gregg Brandon...
"We told our defensive kids in the lockerroom at halftime that we just needed to make some stops. We knew Memphis was an explosive offense and to hold them to seven yards in the second half was really a great job by our defensive coaches and players."
On BGSU quarterback Omar Jacobs...
"Omar is an outstanding football player and tonight was just a sign of things to come. I don't know what his numbers were but I bet they were pretty good. Omar has done a great job. In camp we talked about him managing our offense, don't turn the ball over and if he gets a chance, to make a play every now and then. Well, he took it to the next level. I couldn't be prouder of a football player than Omar Jacobs."
On BGSU running back P.J. Pope...
"P.J. Pope is a warrior. He might be our best offensive player overall. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, catch it in the slot, and pound for the yards when we need him to."
Memphis Coach Tommy West...
"We didn't play well enough and I thought Bowling Green played very well. When they made mistakes we didn't capitalize on them and that was the difference in the game. I just felt like we didn't play well enough. They got us on the on-side kick, we were very poor on short-yardage plays. You can't give up 52 points in a game and expect to win."
BGSU quarterback Omar Jacobs...
"My grade for me tonight is a B+. I wanted to go out there and play my game. The team was focused the whole time we've been out here. It was like a business trip. We came out here and took care of business.
