Chattanooga Head Coach Russ Huesman
On the decision to go for it on 4^th down on the last possession of the 4^th quarter:
"A touchdown still beats us anyway.  If they score, it is still 21-20 right there."

On the frustration with the outcome:
"Very frustrating.  It was a team loss.  It was ridicualous that we left all of that out there.  We had chances for interceptions.  We had chances for first downs.  We had chances to make plays.  We had unbelievable chances." 

"We played well.  We've got a good football team.  I love our guys, we've got a great football team.  They beat Ole Miss (last week) because they made every play they had to make.  If we just make one, two of those plays we had an opportunity to make.  We win the football game.  We have to learn to do it."

"We've got a good football team and we are going to win a lot of games."

On how tough it will be to get over this game:
"Nope. I told them, 'no pouting.'  We are going to come back to work on Sunday and we are going to win.  We can still win a Southern Conference Championship.  We can still go to the playoffs.  We can still win a nationals championship.  We can do everything.  This game does not define us.  We are going to win."

Junior QB B.J. Coleman
On the tough loss:
"We are getting closer and closer.  The guys have absolutely everything that you have asked, and then to give it up there at the end, I put full blame on myself.  Offensively, we didn't get it done.  Defense played great."

"We are going to be a better football team for this.  Coming out of the gate against two big-time teams and we played them all of the way down to the wire.  That says something about both programs, but have to learn how to finish.  I think when we do that, we will be where we want to be." 

Senior RB Erroll Wynn
On the tough loss:
"The last two weeks have been the two toughest heartbreakers of my whole career.  We are such a very good team and have so much potential, but potential doesn't win the game.  We see thiat right now.  We have to mature and finish the game off."

On playing for the first time since 2008:
"The last time I played was Nov. 22, 2008, and my flame has been growing ever since.  Watching this group of guys for the past year, I couldn't wait to play."

Junior DE Chris Donald
On the tough loss:
"It is going to hurt.  It doesn't matter who we lose to, it is going to hurt.  It is a bad feeling.  We are just going to have to come back in tomorrow and put our work boots back on."

JSU Head Coach Jack Crowe
"We've got some competitiveness about us. We had guys get hurt, in and out of the game. Calvin Middleton got hurt. Calvin Middleton is a gutsy gutsy player. I really talked to them individually, offense/defense, in their individual groups at halftime. The first half is a mystery for the coach. Our coaches continue to find a way to solve our problems; players keep finding ways to overcome them. Those two things on a football team are your most important and we have those. If we start living on those as a ticket, it will get us there."

On the atmosphere:
"The atmosphere was electric. The players were giddy during pregame. I told them It's being built, the bar is being raised for you guys" (referring to the player's visit to the press box). You don't do this for average; we need to be nationally defined. Until we put ourselves in the top 10 consistently, then we have not restored the tradition that Coach Burgess' boys had."

On the quarterbacks:
"Marques (Ivory) is no average Joe, I will say this in public - he better not be looking over his shoulder, Coty Blanchard is a play maker. He is going to be right there going in the game the whole year. I don't know if he is getting distracted by it but he better get used to it, because that is the way it's going to be. We would not have won this game without Blanchard, we would not have won this game without Marques Ivory, if we would have missed either one of their plays - we would not have won it."

On the Ole Miss effect:
"We could have lost both these games and still won a National Championship (Ole Miss, Chattanooga). The only pressure we felt was to win this game, not to prove anything about Ole Miss. The best player on the field was their running back - No. 2 Errol Wynn. This was the best Chattanooga team we've seen since I have been here."

James Shaw
On winning in a dramatic fashion
"I feel like we need to do better. We need to get off to a better start."

On making the game winning play
"I got in the right position to make the right play at the right time. I told Coach to throw me the ball. Two plays later, he finally put me in running, and it worked out."

Marques Ivory
On the winning play
"He (James Shaw) told me right before the play that he was on the post. I told him fine, make it work. Make sure the batteries are in the truck. He executed, I executed, the offensive line gave me time and we got it done."

On coming from behind to win
"It's in our mind that we need to go ahead and get it together from the start, so that we don't have to do this all the time."
