Post Game Quotes - WMU vs. Murray State

Jarvion Franklin

Question: What can you say about the  team's performance tonight?

This performance we gave was a direct response from this week of practice. We came out and attacked every single day

Coach Fleck was pleased with us every day this week, so we will just keep on getting better every day and keep our oars in the water

We're going to come out and give it our best shots every game

Question: Coach said there were some players disapointed after last week's game, what did you guys do to change the outcome?

(Last Week)we didn't feel like we played our best game at all, we turned the ball over so that really hurt all the players on the team like I said that gave us great fuel for this week of practice because we just used that and got better

(The offensive line) did a fantastic job controlling the line of scrimmage, they allowed me to run the ball tonight

Question: What did you think about starting the game and being able to play all over the field tonight?

We were just flying around, it was a great start for me because of the guys ahead of me and the guys behind me. I was prepared because they prepared me.

It's the next man in and that's how we prepare every day

Like Jarvion said all week in practice we kept getting better and better. He stressed the points of sacks and turnovers and we did it

P.J. Fleck

Question: Opening statement

We got better and that was the biggest challenge for our players form week 2 to week 3. We changed our best and not in terms of x's and o's. We took on adversity after a tough week and it's been a really tough two weeks

They came out and made the choice that we're going to respond. They had the best week of practice they've had during game week we've had ever, and it showed on the field

They came out and wanted to play physical, we watched the film from Georgia Southern and they saw our errors and they errors we're based on our how

How we played the game, not what we did and that wasn't Bronco style football

That's a good team, they are going in the right direction and they hired a phenomenal young coach

Question: What was the difference between your last couple of games and tonights game?

The first two games we were worrying about other people not us and we weren't playing out style of football

We were able to get up early and become balanced. We are at our best when we are balanced and that's the biggest challenge for the coaching staff every week.

Tonight they played with the how, they were a lot more physical than we were in the last two games and it had nothing to do with opponents, it's about how we play.

It's always teaching and that's why I love football. Sometimes you learn the hard way and sometimes you learn with a victory. We will cross off the W tomorrow and we will start getting ready for Ohio State.
