Head Coach Jim McElwain

(opening statement)
“Shoot guys that was a lot of fun.”

“Figuring out a way to win and finding a way to win. I’m just really proud of our guys, obviously there are some things we need to work on as you guys know we’re a long ways from where we need to be, but sometimes when you’re winning you just have to find a way to win some games.”

“Finding a way to win is important when you’re building a program.”

“We’ve been on a pretty emotional roller coaster and a pretty emotional ride here since probably the Boston College game and for our guys to come out and figure out a way to get it done when we shot ourselves in the foot.”

(on the first half fake field goal)
“Obviously the first special teams gaffe and I made the call for a fake field goal down there when we were on the seven on the right hash and it was proven that 'Kicker' is a better kicker than a catcher.”

(on the potential tying Spartans touchdown that was called back)
“They got it right, that’s why we have replay. It shouldn’t have come to that, but at the same time just figuring out a way to get it done is tough to do in this business and our guys are doing it.”

(on quarterback Garrett Grayson)
“He’s a tough guy. He wasn’t going to come out. We’ll see what it is (injury). If he cant play Nick Stevens (backup QB) will go in and play and do great, that’s why he’s on scholarship. Next guy up.”
