East Carolina Player Quotes
Defensive Back Van Eskridge
On ECU’s recent losing streak:
“To go from 3-0 to losing three-straight is very frustrating. We feel like we have not only some of the best talent in Conference USA but also in the nation. So it’s pretty frustrating to not be able to take care of the little things.”
On Virginia’s Cedric Peerman’s two long rushes:
“I have to give him a lot of credit. I tried to tackle him and he did a great job of keeping his feet in bounds. I also give UVa a lot of credit for their blocking.”
Running Back Jonathan Williams
On the flow of the game:
“We started off well and got our confidence up but we had a lot of mistakes today.”
On moving on from this loss:
“We just try to go out there and get better. We need to step it up.”
Wide Receiver Dwayne Harris
On cutting the deficit to 28-20 in the second half:
“We came out in the first half a little sluggish. We moved the ball a couple of times. In the second half we were able to get a nice little spark on kick-off returns.”
On what the team needs to improve upon:
“We need guys to get on the same page, get guys clicking and move the ball down the field to the end zone.”
On getting back to the C-USA schedule:
“We will go back to the drawing board and regroup as we head into conference play.”
Quarterback Pat Pinkney
On today’s game:
“We competed and we had our chances. You want to win them all, but we started off slow today. We started making plays in the second half but everybody has to do their job.”
On regrouping after this game:
“Our goal was to go 1-0 this week, but we’ll keep taking it one game at a time.”
