PLAYER GAME QUOTES

Kyle Skogman I don't think it was the mistake so much that took me out of the game. It was that they called a roll-out pass on the sideline and I called an option instead. Everybody knows what happened after that. But I had trouble getting a dry ball, and I figured I would have trouble passing. You can't relay something like this to the coach.
-- Kyle Skogman
Skogman talking about changing the play in the game, and then being benched.

COACH GAME QUOTES

Frank Lauterbur This game was simply one in which one team executed the simple basics of football and the other did not. A big difference between the two teams was they tackled well and we didn't. You can't use the playing conditions as an excuse although they were the worst we've had all year. I'd much rather play on artificial surface, but the conditions were the same for both team.
-- Frank Lauterbur
