Gary Patterson Win Quotations

For me, this will probably be the biggest win as a head coach for this program. You've got to know everybody will have ups and downs. This is real important. These are all my kids now that I've recruited. It's good to see them play hard and play in that kind of arena.

We came back here to win two of three, and these are the two I wanted to win. One's for conference and the other is for national respect.

This senior class is special since it was our first full class. To win 11 games this season is a great tribute, and seniors like Quincy and Michael are on the forefront of this program's success.

The BCS still is a long way away for us, ... We know we don't have a chance unless we win the conference title. . . . But we feel like if we keep playing better we'll give ourselves a chance.

BYU plays great defense and we'll have to find a way to take the ball game, ... That's how you win in conference on the road. They've moved the football this year and had penalties and turnovers when they got into the red zone. You have to create lost yardage plays to stop them. You have to take the fight to them and not play on your heels.

It was a great win for the program, but now it's time to move on. I'm very happy for TCU, the alumni and the players. It's been a lot of fun, but now it's back to work.
