Junior Linebacker Tyler Replogle
On today’s game:
“We have to give credit to Virginia. They came out and played better than us today. I think it’s really that simple. We’re going to watch film and regroup. We’re going to be a different team next week.”
On leaving Virginia’s wide receivers open:
“It’s all about the film. We’re going to come in and find out what went wrong. We’re going to fix it and do better.”
On the mood in the locker room after the game:
“The guys are down because we lost the game. But I know the team-once we watch film, we’ll get excited. There’s six football games left. That’s a lot of football and we’re going to be a different football team.”
Senior Left Tackle Rodger Saffold
On the team’s age:
“We’ve got a lot of young guys and we’re going to continue to work with them and they’re going to get better.”
On the team’s attitude:
“You have to be all in. There’s no in-between.”
On the game overall:
“I don’t give any excuses. The way we played was the way we played. I’m not going to say it was based on practice or anything like that. Of course, we need to go out and practice and work harder, but like I said, I don’t believe in excuses. All I’m going to do is use this and take this experience and just continue to work the next day.”
On the mood in the locker room following the game:
“You’re always disappointed. It’s disappointing. But I think one thing everyone understands is that we’re a team. We have to come together and we have to do what we have to do in order to win games. We’re not going to put our heads down, we’re not going to point fingers at anybody. One thing that we’re going to do though, is each of us is going to look in the mirror and say, “what did you do to get better?” And then we’re going to rate ourselves.”
Junior Quarterback Ben Chappell
On how the team played today:
“That wasn’t our football team. We have to do something to find it, but that wasn’t us.”
On how the game met their expectations for today:
“I didn’t see this one coming. Like I said, this just wasn’t us. I have give Virginia credit though, they played well today. They’re a good defense and they have a good team.”
On Virginia’s defense:
“They played cover two on first and second down and blitzed on third, like we knew they would. We just didn’t execute there at the beginning.”
On the first turnover:
“We had good field position on that first drive and we got a first down. It shouldn’t have taken the wind out of us and we should have been confident that we could drive the ball, but after that we just didn’t execute.”
