Recap | Final Stats
QB Caleb Hanie
"Can't blame it on just the O-Line, can't say that if we run the ball, or do this. You have to be able to win games with what we got and we aren't doing that."
"Everybody seems pretty confident that we're going to move the ball, that's not what is going to win games for us, if every team is going to win by just being confident and playing hard, then no one is going to lose."
"I don't question anybody's heart, everybody played hard, but you have to do more than that."
"We're playing for each other, this team is like a family, have to play for the guys that stand next to you in the huddle, next to you on the battlefield, and I guess, that's a way we can rally around that fact and make a bowl game, and do what we have to do to win games."
CB - Darryl Williams
On his First Quarter Interception "They tried to deke me, or trick me, tried to make me come up, I kind of faked the quarterback like I was coming up, and I just went back and got the ball."
On Beck "We knew he had a very good arm, he is a very strong quarterback. He's started for a couple years now, we knew what he was going to bring."
"Just have to come out and play hard, we're in a bad slump right now. We can't let that Air Force game ruin our season."
RB Nnamdi Oheari
On mistakes "To get down on that side of the field, and lose the ball. We drive drive drive and then find some way to mess it up, You have to protect the ball."
"Ultimately, we don't win, and that's frustrating. If you don't get that one statistic, that W, it doesn't matter."
"There is definitely an outside shot at a bowl game, its not impossible. It's very much doable. Playing for Colorado State University, we have to salvage our four game slide."
On the game next week "Again, we've lost four in a row, it's the game before the bye week, we don't want to go into it with a loss. It's very important, going to have a week of long preparation."
DE Jesse Nading
"We've lost four, and have to take it one game at a time from now."
"We're in this together, offense wants to score more points, but at the same time, we want to give up less points. That's why we're a team, we have to pick it up when their struggling, and they have to pick it up when we're struggling. Got to keep working and hopefully the last three, we'll end it on a good note."
"The rest of the year (we) have to step it up so we can still be a good defense."
"Out of the gates we felt good, even coming into halftime, we didn't feel like it was a game we couldn't win. We thought the offense would go down and score, we felt pretty comfortably with what we doing on defense."
"There is always hope, there really isn't any quit in this team. We just have to keep working, and doing what we're doing and hopefully we can finish strong."
"A lot of character on the guys on this team, no one is quitting on anybody, and we have to step it up and play to the best of our abilities."
"Have to give BYU their credit, their a good team, (they have a) very talented offense."
BYU Coach/Player Quotes
BYU Head Coach: Bronco Mendenhall -"We prevented them from having good field position."
-"I was pleased with our defense, they've done exactly what we've asked them to do."

BYU Linebacker Cameron Jansen -"We knew they were a team capable of throwing deep passes but we continued to pressure them throughout the game and they were not able to make any big plays through the air."
BYU Quarterback John Beck "I just looked through my reads and was able to distribute the ball around well and this win over CSU prepares us even more for our game against Wyoming next week."
