Postgame Quotes from App State-Louisiana

POSTGAME QUOTES
 
App State head coach Scott Satterfield
 
"This senior class has been the force behind everything in this transition to the FBS, and it is really fitting for them to finish their career here at Kidd Brewer Stadium with a Sun Belt championship. I am really proud of the way they came out and played. The last month our preparation has been the best it's been all year. The last three games we played, it's the best football we've played and the most complete games. Defensively, it set the tone over the last three wins, and our offense has been very solid. We took care of the football, created turnovers. It is a great day to be a Mountaineer and go out with a Sun Belt championship."
 
"For us, if you take each side of the ball, we really settled in with our roles and what we are trying to do. The offensive line has really jelled and meshed and gotten better and better throughout the season, and Jalin (Moore) has really helped the last few weeks."
 
App State quarterback Taylor Lamb
 
"That's how we wanted to go out. Not a fast start, but we took care of it. It's extremely special to do it with this group of guys. You never think this would happen. You know you always kept your head down and worked hard, but you don't' know the results will come, and they sure came. It's a good way to go out for the offense and a great game to end my career at The Rock."
 
App State receiver Thomas Hennigan
 
"I had a couple five-touchdown games in high school, but I never dreamed of doing it in college like this, especially as a freshman. I'm just blessed to have a quarterback and a team and an offense like we have this year."
 
App State backup quarterback Curtis Fitch (on his teammates' reaction to his TD)
 
"It was unbelievable. How about that? It was awesome and really special. It shows the culture of this program and the kind of team we have. You couldn't ask for more."
 
App State senior linebacker Eric Boggs
 
"We've had a very productive last four years. I wouldn't put anything above it. It's been awesome. Me and Stringer, we've built a great bond, just like all the other players on the defense, and that's really what's helped us rally together. We've got such a team chemistry that it helps out and gets a lot of wins."
 
App State senior linebacker Devan Stringer
 
"We always strived to work hard and be the best. I don't think there was a doubt in anybody's mind that we would get it turned around. That's exactly what we did. That just goes to the character we have here on our staff, all the way down to us. It shows the character we had to keep fighting, keep striving to be the best."

Louisiana coach Mark Hudspeth

"First of all, give App State credit. They've got an outstanding football team and did a really good job today and made a lot of plays and we didn't. It wasn't our night. We didn't play as well as we would've liked, especially for these seniors. Really proud of this senior class and everything these seniors have meant to us over the last few years."

"Any time you lose the turnover battle, just like last week we lost a turnover battle, and when you lose it 3-0, again, that's not a good recipe. This year we were so good at taking care of the football. In the last two games of the season, the turnover bug bit us pretty bad. Give them (App State) credit. They didn't turn the ball over, and they did a good job."
