Recap | Final Stats | Notes
"We were stopping their run game pretty good, so we knew then we had to get after them with our pass rush."
"They scored on the first play, but then the defense settled down and we knew it was a four quarter ball game. We just started playing our game."
"We have four more games and every game is a championship caliber game."
Kenneth Brantley
"We needed a lot of big plays, and we just didn't make enough of them."
"When we are down 14-0 nothing we still think it's our game. There is not one point from the first kickoff to the end of the game that we don't think it's our game. If you don't have that kind of mentality going out there, then I don't know why you're even playing football, especially at Bowling Green with the winning tradition that has been set."
"We were fortunate enough to be able to exploit them on a couple of third downs. There was some good stuff we saw and all we had to do was make the read."
Head Coach Gregg Brandon:
On letting up a few big plays:
"That's just the youth of our team, we are still fighting through that. Our kids showed a lot of courage and determination out there today. We had a chance to win the football game."
"We just shoot ourselves in the foot on both sides of the ball. We make too many mistakes right now to beat a contender."
"We still have a chance to finish strong and hopefully get a bowl game. That's still our goal and we can do that."
"We had great field position opportunities throughout the game but we didn't exploit them and that's the most frustrating thing."
"At halftime we really thought we were going to win the football game. I've never seen a better locker room at halftime since I have been coaching here. We were real up-beat, excited."
