WMU Quotes

Head Coach Bill Cubit

(On Tony Scheffler) "If we don't have him at the beginning of the game it changes things. He's a big threat. Sometimes he loses focus, but we count on him to make the big play for us."

(On the pressure defense) "We're hitting the quarterback and getting extra pressure. We've got an extra man back there in case the ball comes out."

(On defensive flexibility) "We're going to give up yards and I don't care. We could be 12th in the league and that doesn't bother me. We've got to keep them off the scoreboard. We can give up yards between the 20s as long as they don't score."

Kent State Quotes

Head Coach Doug Martin

(About second half defense) "I was proud of our D in the second half, but we aren't good enough on offense to come back from a deficit like that."

(On Tony Scheffler) "Very tough to shut down a tight end like that. His size and speed make him a mismatch for our safeties and linebackers. Our only hope was to jam him at the line, which we only did in the second half."

(On Michael Machen) "We have a young and hurt offensive line which caused us to move everyone around and it's hard for him to play quarterback when he is on his back."
