Ben Troupe Quotations

Most of the time it is just better to step out of bounds. You just have to be a smart player. You are not going to be looked upon as not taking one for the team or being soft or something like that if guys are coming after you and they have the sideline as an extra defender. (Coaches) always say you should have gotten out of bounds.

It always boosts your spirits. With a season like we had this year and last year it is easy to get discouraged, but to know the people admire what you do and tell you to keep your head up, it's always good.

I thought they were going to call it incomplete, it did kind of hit the ground. It really could have been ugly.

The defense played well enough to win. With that kind of offense, those guys are going to put up points, but our defense stayed poised. But on offense, we just can't turn the ball over.

Teams like us, who haven't had as many wins, we kind of stumble a little bit to try to make some plays instead of keeping our composure as well.

Floyd did a real good job that day.

I'm pretty sure those receivers would like more deep balls. As a team we don't worry about the calls, we've got to go out there and execute. We can't sit back and say it's because of the deep ball.

It really could have been ugly. I was really fortunate that the guy was out of bounds.
