Texas Tech Quotes
Defensive Coordinator Lyle Setencich
About the Defensive Effort:
Our defense played hard and they were able to make some plays. I expected this defense to play well sometime this year. Eventually they will be very good."
About the confidence of the defense:
"They could have turned it over tonight and given up but I think they are gaining some maturity and understanding because of the game at Oklahoma State.
Head Coach Mike Leach
About the turnovers:
"I think that our defense played pretty good. I think this defensive performance is one of the best performances I have ever been a part of. You've got to give a lot of credit to the defensive coaches."
About B.J.'s performance:
"I think offensively we played pretty good and B.J was a little out of sync. I thought we would get back on track. He is on pace to be one of the most incredible players in history."
Colorado Quotes
Head Coach Gary Barnett
About the Game:
"It's just really unbelievable. It's hard on the kids; it's hard on everyone. We just struggled on offense. We had trouble up and down the offensive line, and we just couldn't get in sync offensively all night."
" We never did move the ball against them very well. We never really moved or marched the ball down field on them all night."
" The game was ours. We played well enough in a lot of different areas that we could have won the game, we just didn't get it done."
About Tech's play:
"Hats off to their defensive coaches. Tonight, we just needed to come out with a little more confidence and intensity. I mean we forced six turnovers, and our offense just couldn't take advantage of that."
About Tech's Running Game:
"We've been struggling all week with the run and getting prepared for it."
" Tech has shown a lot of things as far as their offense goes. They really didn't show us anything that we hadn't seen or didn't know that they could do. They just really showed it all tonight."
About Wes Welker's Play:
"He's really a good player who doesn't fit the mold of a usual division one player. But he plays with a great heart, and takes advantage of his talent."
Wide Receiver D.J. Hackett
" It seemed like we came out strong, but then came off those first two touchdowns and just fell off after that. I mean we had two possessions after that that we were three and out on. I just don't know really where we tailed off."
About Upcoming Games:
"We have three more games left and we are in a situation where we have got to win. We need to win."
Strong Guard Brian Daniels
On Team's momentum:
"We just came out and our offense didn't play well. We just have to bring it all together. Our defense played their hearts out. We have just got to start bringing both ends of the ball together."
