Quotable
Rusty Wright, head coach – "Good win. I mean, anytime you win, it's a big deal, especially in this day and age. Happy for those coaches and those players. It's, it's hard. It's a lot harder than what that score looks. A lot of young guys out there running around, I mean a lot, and we've got to get better and a lot of a lot of areas. But, you know, really happy and, let's see if we build on it and see if we can learn and keep going and give ourselves an opportunity to play a little better moving forward."

Marquise Freeman, defensive end – "It started with our preparation on Monday. The whole defense came with the mindset of we're not going to get it wrong, starting on Monday, and then we'll show it on gameday. We successfully did that tonight."
