BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -
Coach Brandon Audio

The Bowling Green State University football team had a busy day with the media this afternoon (Sept. 8). Here are some of their thoughts.
Coach Brandon
"We've only played two bad quarters of football, the first quarter at Pitt and the last quarter of Minnesota. Everything after that, the team's done a great job and I'm proud of them. The next game will be the hardest game yet, no question. It'll be harder than Pitt and harder than Minnesota."
On turnovers in losses
"That was one of our team goals last year. Every game we won, we won the turnover battle. Every game we lost, we lost the turnover battle and it's holding true right now. If we can take care of the football, we've got a great chance to win. If we turn it over, we don't have a great chance to win."
On the Minnesota's ability to cause turnovers
"From a coaching standpoint, you teach aggressive play to get the ball out, which our defense does. It's one of the reasons why we beat Pitt, we got the ball. We stripped the ball, made plays. The reason we lost to Minnesota is because we didn't make plays on both sides in that situation. We practice it daily; we have a five minute turnover/ball security period where we stress getting the ball back on defense and taking care of the ball on offense."
