We felt good about our ability to come back in the second half, but the kick return and fumble really swung the momentum in their favor, ... We needed to make plays. But as it turned out, USF was the team able to do that. |

We have another challenging schedule that our players, coaches and fans will enjoy. We play at Kansas State for the first time and we have Kentucky, Miami and West Virginia at home for our fans. It's going to be a tough schedule, but I know our players will be excited about what's in front of them. |
We hope (our home-field advantage) is really big. That's what we want, ... We want to get where it is a real tough place to come in to play. Our guys are excited about it. It is our first time at home and it is going to be a good crowd. It's going to be loud. |
We hope playing at home is a really big advantage for us this season. We want to get where it's a really tough place to come and play. Our guys are going to be excited and it's going to be loud. I would anticipate us coming out fired up and ready to play and being really aggressive. It's probably going to be a really good battle. |
We hurt our reputation today, |
We need to concentrate on the Cincinnati game and win the Cincinnati game and not think about one other thought. |
We probably needed to take some more shots down the field. |
We went against a lot of big-name schools. Our coaches were not shy about it. They went after the best players in their areas. We took some hits, but we won some. |
We were a little more aggressive today, ... and I think we hit a little harder than they did. |
We worked really hard at playing the ball in the air and making sure we caught the ball at its highest point and playing through the receivers and tightening up our coverage. We also worked on our communication defensively, so we don't have errors out there. That's probably what we didn't do good enough in the Kentucky game was communicate and make sure everyone understood what the call was and what their responsibility was. |
We'll probably have him do as much as he can as long as nobody is around him. We won't take any chances. |
We're certainly going to miss Tony Levine, who spent three productive seasons at the University of Louisville. We're excited about bringing Tom into our program. He's a dedicated and bright young coach. He'll bring a lot of enthusiasm and energy to our staff. |
We're down a few guys. That's the thing that is a concern to me. ... We've got some young guys we've got to get ready to go. |
We're going to have to do a good job of executing, getting lots of completions, getting some big plays, ... That will be critical in this game. We will have to get big plays because they put so much pressure on you, they don't want you to sustain long drives. |
