BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (BGSUFalcons.com) - The Falcon football team heads to Philadelphia, Pa., for a Saturday (Oct. 28) game vs. Temple University ... some quotes from BGSU players as the Falcons get ready to face the Owls ...
Freddie Barnes
"We need to just go out and play hard. We can't take anybody lightly. They've been in so many games where they could have won, the other teams are just finding ways to beat them in the end."
"I still feel like I am still learning, but I am definitely getting more and more comfortable every game. It's working to my advantage to be in a steady position, as far as the slot position that I am playing right now."
Diyral Briggs
"My mindset is to prepare like you are playing the number-one team in the nation, because on any given Saturday anybody can be beaten."
"We just have to have a chip on our shoulder. What people are saying, what the media saying about how they think we are up and down, we are young ... that's just all talk. It's inside the team, we as a unit should prove to ourselves that we are better than what everybody else thinks."
Kenneth Brantley
"It is always about us, and how we play. It's like that every single week. This is a game we have to win, a game we need to get us closer to some future goals that we have for this season that are still reachable. It's a game that we need to have the same mentality, the same focus we have had for any other game."
"Losing is not an option for us the rest of the way if we want to do the things we say we want to do. The goals we set in the preseason; we want to reach those goals. This is a must-win game."
"Temple is the type of team that has to scare us because they are a team that is hungry for a win. They are going to throw anything and everything at us in the book to try and get the win."
