CHATTANOOGA HEAD COACH RUSS HUESMAN
Opening Statement:
"The best win I've ever been involved with in my life. Our guys have some guts about them. They're special. They're winners. They know how to win, and I am just so proud of them."
On Nakevion Leslie's Pick Six:
"Keionta Davis hit the guy as he was delivering the pass. Because of that we got the pick and were able to score. So it was huge."
On Fake Kicks:
"Before the game I told the defense we're going to fake a field goal, we're going to fake a field goal and we're probably going to onside kick before it's all said and done. I told them the only reason we can do these things is because I believe in them. They'll get a stop for us if it doesn't work out. Fortunately both (fakes) worked out."
CHATTANOOGA QUARTERBACK JACOB HUESMAN
On Winning the Game:
"Unbelieveable. It feels unreal. It hasn't even hit me yet."
On the Defensive Effort:
"Thanks to the defense...unbelieveable job especially at the end of the game. I can't even say enough about it because I never doubted them for a second.."
CHATTANOOGA LINEBACKER NAKEVION LESLIE
On the Pick Six:
“I followed the quarterback's eyes and as he (Keionta Davis) got the pressure, the ball came out a little low. I was able to catch the ball and get into the end zone behind a great block from Wes (Dothard).”
On What the Win Means:
"It was incredible for me to get to make the play I did. We all preach to fight for each other. Every play fight for each other and the seniors...make sure they go out with a win over App State. I was happy to be able to go out and play for the seniors."
