On the team executing complementary football…

It was great. Whenever we play complementary football, our best football, the result's is a winning game. It wasn't pretty as we wanted today, but a W’s a W.

On Will Wilson and Duke Scott’s importance to the run game…

[They’re] very important. Whenever you can get the run game going, it's always good for the offense. shoot, we've got a pretty good quarterback. The run game just opens up the pass game. It just gets the flow for the offense. Whenever we can get good runs, those tough, three-yard, four-yard gains, move the chains, or just get positive runs on first down, it just starts the drive off better.

On contributing to a team that earned bowl eligibility…

We were working to get bowl eligible, and it's just another game with my guys, the seniors, and just to finish out the year.
