PLAYER GAME QUOTES

I was nervous all week, but I think my dad was more nervous that I was. I got over my nervousness once the game started. I don't like the idea of us playing Iowa State. I agree with dad that we play enough big games all year. Fans tend to put too much emphasis on a game like this one.
-- Bobby Commings Jr.

This victory meant as much to me as any kid from the stat of Iowa. I'm feeling about the same right now as I did last year when we beat Penn State.
-- Dean Moore

Our defensive players are crazy...I admit that, Iowa State has a good defense but they don't have (expletive deleted) like we do. They don't hit like us. The first time Dean Moore saw films this week of Dexter Green, he asked, 'That's Dexter Green? He'll be Dexter Blue when we get through with him.
-- Tom Rusk

Everyone was looking for me Thursday. They told me that Scott Schilling had hurt his ankle when a golf cart overturned on it earlier that day. I really wasn't worried about punting but I bet I kicked at least 100 placements in two days. I hadn't kicked a field goal since high school. After I missed that extra-point kick I knew I had to make up for it with my punting.

When we came out to play the game and ISU ran out with their 'Beat Iowa' jerseys, I think that really set me in more of an intense mood to want to knock their heads off. I thought, 'What an insult.' That really put me in a foul mood fast. I was ready to hit someone.
-- Jon Lazar

I was so emotional before the game, I had tears in my eyes and a Iump in my throat. I couldn't help it, because it's been in my blood since I was recruited by Iowa State and then suddenly shut off. If I got a chance I was going to get those guys.
-- Tom Rusk

COACH GAME QUOTES

I don't want to hear that Big Eight bleep anymore.
