Quotes from Central Michigan's Butch Jones:

"That was a great, great college football game.  A great rival game.  It came down, obviously, to the last couple of seconds.  I can't say enough about Western Michigan.  And then again I can't say enough about our kids.  Our kids, they suffered through adversary all season, and suffered a little bit this game.  When we had the ball with a little over a minute, I looked in everybody's eyes, and they said 'We're gonna get this done coach'."

Quotes from Western Michigan's Bill Cubit:

"We played hard and they played hard. It was one of those games that is tough to swallow. It is hard, it's just really hard."
