Head Coach Tim Beckman
"We beat a very good FIU team. We're happy to get out of Florida with a victory."
"The interception right before the half, I'll take the fault for that. We should have just played out the half. But I'm proud that the defense held them (to a field goal).
"DaJuane Collins is running with outstanding effort. And Morgan Williams came in and did a good job, too."
"The special teams did hurt us. We still have some things to work on with our special teams."
Senior LB Beau Brudzinski
(effect of heat) "We prepared veyr well for it. We've been drinking Gatorade all week. It was hot but no one was cramping really."
(holding FIU to FG at end of first half) "Holding them to three points was big. We stepped up when we needed to."
Senior RB DaJuane Collins
"We established our running game early. We knew we had to establish the run to be successful. Once we got the run going it opened up our play-action passing."
"We're 2-2 for the first time in a long time. It gives us confidence going into the MAC season."
Senior QB Aaron Opelt
"We didn't like losing to them last year. They came into our place and won. We were up at half last year and let it slip away. We weren't going to let that happen this time."
(holding FIU to FG at end of first half) "The defense bailed us out, they bailed me out. Holding them to three right there was amazing."
