Didn’t go our way, he’s the reason why really we're 6-6 and going to a bowl game.

Sonny Cumbie

It’s a sense of relief and accomplishment, in these bowl games, the most excited team that shows up is the one that comes out on top. That’s what this team did.

Their defensive front is very good, we felt with some of our run schemes and some of our motions, we would be able to hit some creases. And our running backs broke some tackles. They were a good opponent, but I did feel we’d have the ability to run the football.

Incredibly proud of our team, the fight that they showed, it’s so easy when things go against you to take your ball and go home, to take your ball and stop playing and to stop fighting. And if anything, these kids did just the opposite.
