Ball State vs. Toledo
Oct. 2, 2004
Glass Bowl

Junior RB Quinton Broussard

"Tonight I knew I had to come with my "A-Game." I give a lot of thanks to my front line. They did a great job opening holes and I was able to take advantage of it."

Junior QB Bruce Gradkowski

"We have some great targets (receivers) out there so defenses can't just focus on one of them. Defenses have to worry about all of them. We have guys that run good routes and can make plays. Kenny with his speed is able to run by defenders. Tonight, everyone did their roles. Our offensive line gave me time to throw, which is important."

"I thought we played very well as a total unit tonight. We were able to run the ball and pass the ball and keep them off balance. We played tonight with a lot of passion."

Senior WR Kenny Higgins

"Everyone who plays expects to have a big game. Tonight just happened to be my night. My time came and I took advantage of it."

"You can't just key on one person. We have a lot of players who can hurt you."

Junior LB Anthony Jordan

"We had some young guys. WE knew it would take time for them to mature. We've had our struggles but we've been working hard every week, trying to get better. We've just focused in one or two things to get better at each week and it's starting to pay off."

Head Coach Tom Amstutz

"I'm proud of our players. It goes back to the leadership of our veteran players. This was important because it puts us 2-0 in the conference. We have to shake this game out of our system fast and get ready for a tough road game at Western Michigan. Western had a bye week and had two weeks to prepare for us."

(Higgins) "Kenny is young man who came here and worked hard. He's been very patient. His dedication to the team has moved forward, and now he's a legitimate threat for our offense. I was very proud of the game he had today. He did a lot of special things tonight, using his talent to make big plays."

"Our defense took one more step tonight. We got some three-and-outs and made some big stops. We held them to seven points since the other touchdown came off a fumble recovery."
