Coach Gill said to media following the game,"This was another great game and our offense is starting to come into shape just in time for conference play. Next week we have a big test in front of us with TCU coming to town, hopefully we execute our game plan and don't get embarassed by the Horned Frogs. I know Vegas will be leaning heavily for them with the way Dalton is currently playing but I think the way our defense is playing we can get some pressure on him and force him to make some bad decisions."

Coach Gill commented to reporter Erin Andrews after the game, "Our offensive played a very smart game today, with little to no mistakes, but take a look at the opponents score and you'll see that the defense was all over them. Dysert couldn't get anything going with the pressure we had on him all game. I'm very proud of the defensive players today, and if we can get the spectacular plays on offense like we did today on defense I will be a very happy man."
Wednesday, November 24, 2010
