Josh Betts Quotations

When we run the ball that well and get Murphy a couple of lanes and get him out in the open, it keeps them off-balance,

It does a little bit, ... You get to ring the bell a lot. It's something we have and take pride in.

I was trying to put it outside, but it got inside a little bit. I knew when I let it go that it was trouble.

When I was growing up, our whole family used to get together at Christmas, but we hadn't done that for some 30 years, ... Some of us got together in North Carolina last year, but this is the first time everyone's come up here. Everybody wants to see the game.

We're really concentrating on the deep ball, ... The emphasis is on stretching the field. I'm also working on recognizing defenses quicker and cutting down on turnovers.

That one got a little inside. I saw the guy (Whitner) and I tried to put the ball outside, so if it was anywhere it was going to go wide. It kind of got inside on me. I knew as soon as I let go there was a chance it was going to be picked.

They showed us a couple different things we hadn't seen... and it took a little bit of time to get into our rhythm.

I know they had some questions with their (defensive) line, and I thought they did a great job.

I only got my feet set on three or four throws the whole (game),

I had sort of a stinger, but it didn't affect my second-half throws. It was tough because we didn't move the ball as well as we would have liked. We could have done much better, but we didn't execute, and that's what's most frustrating.

They did a great job of getting pressure. They brought things this game that they didn't do all of last year.

In past openers, it seemed like they didn't do a whole lot, but they threw a lot at us. I don't know exactly what they were bringing, but they brought a lot.

I remember cheering guys like Eddie George, (Andy) Katzenmoyer and Joe Germaine, ... I remember the excitement, how many people there were and how loud it got.

It's just frustrating. We moved the ball well and we scored a lot of points, but there were just some things that we should have done better than we did.

It made it not look as bad, I guess, ... I think if we had a little more time, we could have had a better outcome, or better score at least.
