Post-game player quotes
Defensive lineman Mike Thornton
"I know we've got to get it together next week. We've got another one to play. I don't think we showed up to play. It's a momentum game. You give them an ounce of momentum and they take it and run with it. We had to take it from them and we didn't. We didn't execute. They didn't do anything that surprised us. It was us. It wasn't them. It was things that we were doing that we could've done better. It's a momentum game like I said earlier. For them to have a play like that (the fake field goal) it definitely created some momentum on their side of the ball. I definitely think we had the momentum early in the game. We just didn't rise to the occasion like we should have."
"Star" defensive back Damian Swann
(On did momentum change with the fake field goals)
"Maybe a few plays later. I think they got a nice shot on Isaiah on the next kickoff return and once they got going it was hard to stop them. Four hundred yards rushing and 27 yards passing is not good at all. That's not the team that we are, and it's not the team that we want to be. We know how good we can be and we know what we have to do. It's just one of those games. Once momentum swings, it's hard to get it back. We were never able to get it back."
Quarterback Hutson Mason
"I think we played hard. There's no doubt in my mind that we played hard. They just caught a lot a lot of momentum. Football is a game of momentum and when you're playing behind by 20 or 21 in a rivalry game, that's hard to come back. It just felt like we couldn't ever get anything going. We were obviously in the game and had a chance to be up 10-0. They caught good wind and good things kept rolling for them. And one bad thing just kept rolling for us. You have to answer the bell, and I think we could've done a better job of that."
Tailback Nick Chubb
"They let us play for the most part. The fake field goal got them the momentum, an exciting thing. After that, the momentum changed. I think we all played hard. The ball just didn't bounce our way."
