Player Quotes
Sophomore defensive tackle Greg Brown
On the game:
"It was a battle and we went at it. We just fought and fought and we couldn't come out with a win. It hurts, it really hurts right now."
On the defense:
"We play hard on every play and we fought till the end, it just didn't come out in our favor."
On Tracy Porter's defensive play:
"It changed the momentum, once he got that interception, it took our game to another level and it boosted our confidence as a defense."
Redshirt freshman quarterback Kellen Lewis
On the quarterback shuffle:
"In general, the offense needs to figure out a way to get points on the board."
On Connecticut's defense:
"They are a tough defense, last year they were ranked pretty high in the BIG EAST. They are well coached and seemed to be in the right place at the right time."
On his interception pass for a Connecticut touchdown:
"I read the defender I was supposed to read, and he really didn't get his hands on the number two receiver, so I tried to throw the slant around him, but I didn't see the middle linebacker and before you know it, it's a touchdown."
Junior quarterback Blake Powers
On the game:
"They just played better than us in the end. We'll try and learn from a game like this, and try to get better."
Redshirt freshman wide receiver Andrew Means
On his fourth quarter catch:
"I knew it was going to be close to the sideline, so I just tried to make sure I got the catch first, then made sure my feet were down, then just secured the ball.
On the quarterback shuffle:
"From a receivers standpoint, I think we are comfortable with both because of the amount of reps they both take. We get the same amount of catches from both quarterbacks and we are comfortable with both of their timing."
