Chattanooga Football Postgame Quotes
No. 3 Chattanooga at No. 8 The Citadel
Johnson Hagood Stadium – Charleston, S.C.
Saturday – Oct. 15, 2016

Head Coach Russ Huesman
Thoughts on the game:
"Our guys played hard.  Sometimes when you play hard, it doesn't compute to Ws.  Our guys fought hard and they are hurting.  We will come back and we will play better next week.

"It was a group effort.  I don't know as coaches, if we put them in the best of situations.  I thought they had a great game plan.  You have to give Citadel credit.  They played really well today."

On getting stops early in the second half:   
"We got the first two stops and didn't get anything out of it.  That is a killer right there.  We got another stop and almost blocked a punt.  We were trying to do everything."

Cedric Nettles – Sr.-DB
On not being able to stop The Citadel in the first half:
"We had to make some adjustments at halftime.  We played hard and played fast and executed in the second half."

Keionta Davis – Sr.-DL
Thoughts on the game:
"These are games we have to learn from.  It was a tough game, and I am proud of our guys.  We fought the whole game.  Things just didn't go the way we wanted it to.  We just have to go back and regroup, and get ready for next week."

"It is a long season left and a lot of football left to play.  We have to go out and handle our business and put ourselves in a good position so we can stay in position for the playoffs and the conference championship."

Alejandro Bennifield – Jr.-QB
On the play of Citadel's defense:
"Every time we got stops, I really felt like we were going to go out and score.  Their defense came out and made a couple of adjustments and stopped us.  They took advantage of a couple of opportunities. and it cost us.

"They changed up their defense a little bit, and it gave us a little trouble up front and in the passing game.  We dropped a couple of balls, and I threw a couple of balls incomplete.  With them running the ball, you don't get that many opportunities."
