Toledo at Kansas

Sept. 15, 2007

Lawrence, KS (Kivisto Field)

 

Senior RB Jalen Parmele

“We didn't start out the way we practiced this week. Give Kansas credit. They played with more intensity than we did.”

 

Sophomore QB Aaron Opelt

“Kansas is a great team. They came out and played better than us today. You have got to tip your hat to Kansas. They played a great game.”

 

“There is no excuse for my play today. I have to play better.”

 

“Our defense gave us opportunities to make plays. We just didn't do it. We have to play better.”

 

Sophomore SS Barry Church

(on injuries)

“It's tough. We've lost a lot of leaders out there. We need to step it up on defense.”

 

“We wanted to put pressure on their quarterback. He is a good player, and we needed to pressure him.”

 

Head Coach Tom Amstutz

“I give Kansas a lot of credit. I thought their defense was the best we've seen so far this season. They are very sound. They ran well to the football.”

 

“I thought our players battled hard and played with a lot of heart.”

“We forced some turnovers that helped us hang around a little bit.”

 

“We're short a few guys and that could be seen on the field. But the guys who played battled hard.”

 

“I thought our defense improved in this game, especially in the first half. It's something we can build on.”

 

“My team's heads aren't down. They've worked hard and battled. We'll be ready for the next one.”
