Chattanooga Football Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at North Alabama
Braly Stadium – Florence, Ala.
Saturday – Sept. 2, 2023
Rusty Wright, Head Coach
Overall thoughts after the 41-27 loss.
"We just didn't do things that we'd been doing up until this point. I'm not taking anything away from them, give those guys credit. They played their tails off and they made plays when they had to. They just played like they had played a game already and we played like we had not. It took us a little while to get going but once we got going we looked pretty good, but we just weren't consistent. That's it. We need to do what we're supposed to do all the time."
On what the team needs to do to improve their inconsistencies.
"We're still a good football team, we just need to learn and grow from this. There were some good things out there at times tonight on both sides of the ball. We just need to consistently do those things now. We have to do it right all the time, no matter what. That's how you win football games."
On how to take what the team did in the second and third quarter and spread that over 60 minutes.
"We will, we just need to figure out how to go out and consistently do that. We had three guys up front playing for the first time, a quarterback playing for the first time, two linebackers starting for the first time. We'll be fine. I told them in the locker room that we have a chance to be a really good football team, we just need to consistently do things. We did not deserve to win the game today. We made too many mistakes and they didn't."
