On the loss to
“It is tough, but we just have to move on and try to win out now. Everybody was shocked and a lot of players were upset.”
On teammate Darren Sproles...

SENIOR RB DARREN SPROLES
On the game and loss...
“It’s just rough right now, knowing that we could have won it, but we didn’t. We didn’t put enough points on the board to win. We tried to keep them off the field as long as possible, but we did not do that today. We have some work to do.”
SENIOR WR ANTOINE POLITE

“They (
On the team’s mistakes...
“We made too many mistakes in the game. We kept pushing and fighting back. Then we’d have a mistake and they had that long run, a punt return and an interception. So, you can’t have those mistakes and expect to win against Texas Tech.”
SOPHOMORE QB DYLAN MEIER
On the loss...
“It’s tough right now, but what can you do? It’s (loss) going to hurt for awhile. All we can do is keep fighting and keep getting better from top-to-bottom. We made too many mistakes, so we didn’t deserve to win the ballgame and that’s obvious when you look at the scoreboard.”

“It was a combination of things. All you can say is that we didn’t get it (today). That’s my responsibility. I wasn’t clicking as I needed to be and that’s my fault. I’ll take it from day one and that’s on me. All I can do is keep on going out and trying to fight.”
SOPHOMORE DB MAURICE MACK

“It’s going to be a challenge, but everything is always a challenge. I don’t think we expected them to get the seam routes they got tonight. Even though we prepared for it, they still hit open receivers. They were making plays. All we could do was keep tackling and prevent them from going deep.”

SOPHOMORE LB BRANDON ARCHER

“There offense is potent. We thought we had the right defenses called tonight. They just converted big plays.”
On Sonny Cumbie...
“He had time. Anybody’s going to complete passes if they have that much time. As the game wore on, we started putting more pressure on him and he wasn’t as efficient as earlier.”
