Junior RB Donnie Anders
On what point in the game he knew he was going to get playing time...
“At the beginning of the second half I knew I was going to have a chance to get in the game and I made the best of it. Parrish Fisher was kind of down and he already had his yards so he had a rotation with Carlos Alsup and me. We got in there and we just did what we had to do.
Freshman QB Allan Everidge
On his first playing action...
“It was fun, it’s always fun to go out there and mix it up a little bit. I haven’t played a lot so it was fun to get out there and play with your friends and teammates and do what you have been practicing.”
On his performance...
“I personally think that there was a lot of room for improvement, I didn’t complete every pass so until we get to that point there is no need to rate it real high. So I will just try to get better on every pass, and I know there was definitely room for improvement.”
Junior QB Allen Webb
On his performance...
“I think I had a pretty good day, I had a lot of fun out there but I did have that interception, probably just trying to do too much. We had a few mistakes, I had the major one but we will get that corrected, it was kind of uncharacteristic of me because it was open to run and I probably should have just run it in.”
On the play of the running backs...
“I feel comfortable if either Thomas or Parrish is playing. They both have stepped up and made big plays for us and Fisher did a great job today.”
Freshman RB Parrish Fisher
On his play...

On the win and now heading into conference play...

Junior LB Maurice Mack
On the defense...
“That was one of our main goals today to shut down the run. Everyone got on the ball and pursued. They made their tackles. We had at least three guys on the ball every time. Our front line did excellent today. Quintin (Echols) and Tearrius (George) played well.”
On shutting down the run...
“It was one of those games where we needed to find out how well we are against the run. With a rush team like that, we shut them down. All the credit in the world to
On the improvements after practice...
“It felt real good to actually know that we worked all week. That is what you work to do and to actually get it done is good. We always say we got one step closer and one step closer. This is another step compared to what we are going to see in the Big 12.”
Senior MLB Ted Sims
On how the game was beneficial to the K-State defense...

On if there is a major change mentally on defense from a year ago...
