WMU at Indiana Post-Game Quotes

Western Michigan Head Coach Bill Cubit

Opening Statement:
"I really don't know what to say. We played about as bad as you can possibly play and still have a chance to win the football game. We go down there we don't block anybody and then the kid fumbles the football. You know we're going in for the winning score. It was like that all day long. We can't block five of them. We can't block the people up front. You know, we had chances to throw the ball down field, but we can't do that. We've got guys in our face. It's frustrating, it really is."

On the offense appearing to be out of sync:
"We're not very mentally tough and we're not physical. That's the biggest thing right now for us. We go up there and we spread them out and everybody thinks you spread them out but you spread them out to get the number in the box. So it's one on one blocking. I mean, it's not rocket science. We're not doing it. We don't make anything happen. We don't get those things. And then we run a one yard route on third and two. It just amazes me the little things that we're doing incorrectly. And we still got a chance. That's what's really frustrating to me. We don't block out the perimeter. The whole thing right now, it's not very good."

On the fumbled snap on the punt:
"No it was just a missed snap. That guy hasn't had one bad snap all year. He goes out there and has the bad snap all of a sudden they are in great position and we still hold. We get some grace on some penalties. We're in the backfield and you know the kid's trying to make something happen lifts his arm up and we get a fumble."

On the fumble late in the game:
"The kid feels bad enough. I know that kid feels bad. It's a whole team concept. Just try to be positive, and sometimes you go out there and they don't answer. I think we're doing too much. We've got a veteran quarterback out there. It's just little things."
