“I was proud of Patrick. He took us down on a great drive. A lot of people tried to get down on him early, with the interception, but he showed a lot of poise and a lot of confidence and stepped up and led the offense.”
“We had them beat last year, and we let it get away in the end. It's never over until it's over, especially against them, and we've got to remember that and play as hard as we can and go out there and win this one. That was a tough loss, man. It took awhile to get over that.”
“He's always played like a leader out there on the field. But he's more vocal before we go out there, right before the games. He speaks up and kind of fires guys up.”
“Once that pass was caught in the end zone, it definitely sparked our team. It fuelled the fire to win. Something as simple as that can be a big confidence booster for you. It was similar to that play when LaVar made that interception.”
“We've done good things, but we definitely have room for improvement. Guys taking turns getting beat -- we can't continue to do that if we expect to be as good as we want to be.”
“I've always felt like we could win, ... but in the past I've looked in some of the guys' faces and it looked like they weren't too confident. We cleaned those guys up out of here, and we have some guys who are going to fight until the whistle blows.”
“I think we're on our way to being a great offense. But right now we're not scoring any points. That's the bottom line. You offense has to score points, no matter how many yards you get.”
