Jason Candle
"This senior class wanted to go get a win and the young players did a really great job practicing all week long. There was great effort and it showed that this team wanted to set the table for what next year could be. So many of these seniors have been here for a long time and have been through some really tough times. It felt like we had to win the game three or four times today, but we are so proud of this team."
"To hang in there and to keep fighting like we did today, we were able to keep up with the emotional swings over the course of the game. It was a sloppy game at times, but I am proud of our response. Today’s game was ultimately defined by who made the last play and who threw the last punch."
"We understand that we have created really high standards within the walls of our program. We are not a results driven brand, but we are a process driven brand and processed driven people. When we have opportunities on a national stage like we did today, those processes are highlighted."
Tucker Gleason
(on Darius Alexander’s pick-six)
“We didn’t do much offensively in the third quarter and I turned the ball over twice. Hats off to the defense because they kept us in the game and are reason we won.”
(on winning a six-overtime game)
We didn’t make the moment bigger than it was. When we got to the later overtimes it was one play to end the season. That’s what our mindset was. We just went out there and had fun.”
“This whole week was a great experience for us. We got to spend Christmas morning with our brothers. When are you going to ever get a chance to do that again? Being able to come out and get a win give us momentum for next season.”
Junior Vandeross III
