Postgame Quotes

Dan Earl, Head Coach
Opening statement after
"Great game by our guys. It's all about the next guy up for us and we had different guys up here yesterday, but today, everyone impacted the game. Jake, A.J.,
Randy Brady. We were all pumping Randy up, all the guys were on top of him, he played a fantastic defensive game. Especially on BJ Mack. He really impacted the game and that's what we're asking the guys to do. Credit to Wofford, they are a hard playing team. Coach Perry has done a wonderful job with that team."

On the 11-0 run after halftime.
"The biggest thing was the first four minutes of the second half. And then we focused on playing with more physicality. Wofford is a really physical team who moves really fast. We wanted to continue to move the ball. When we moved the ball, we did a really good job. That was our key coming out in the second half.

Jake Stephens, Gr.-C
On the Chattanooga fan base.
"It's awesome. You can't ask for a better fan base and this time of the year, it really brings it out of everyone. Honestly, they are awesome. They support no matter what. We consistently fill McKenzie Arena and you see them traveling. This isn't just right down the road. For the fans to want to come out and see us, it's awesome."

A.J. Caldwell, Gr.-G
On heading back to the title game.
"I think the biggest thing going into tomorrow night is to just to take it all in and respect the moment. A lot of people get anxious and get tight all day, but you have to treat it like just a regular game. You have to respect the moment and realize what's in front of you. It's my last year, Jake's last year, we've prepared for this and we're ready for it. We'll go into tomorrow night and do our best."
