Postgame Quotes - vs. Furman

ASU Postgame Quotes
Running Back- Travaris Cadet
On his performance
“I wouldn't say it was my best because of the turnovers I had. I had some crucial turnovers that could have turned the whole game around. I need to work on my ball security, but it was a great win for us.”

On switching offenses
“It didn't change our game plan a whole lot because we always want to be balanced. They didn't blitz, and we predicted them to blitz more instead of playing a cover three. We ended up making plays when we had to.”

Linebacker- Jabari Fletcher

On ASU's defense
“We can afford to work on some things, but it was a good performance for our defense especially playing a good football team like Furman. Like I said, we would work on some things especially penalties, but other than that we played pretty good.”

On his fumble recovery for a touchdown
“Initially it disappeared, then I just saw it lying there, and I picked it up and took it to the house”

On his overall game
“I still have a lot to work on. That penalty really hurt us. 15 yards and the kicker had to kick further back than he usually does. But other than that I need to work on a lot of things.”

Defensive Back- Troy Sanders
“The block wasn't set up to go my way, the coach had told me to go to the other side. I saw him fumble the snap a little bit, so I just lunged out and go my hands on it. I scooped it finally and I looked up and I saw more of my guys ahead of me than Furman guys, so I knew what time it was, I knew it was time to seal the deal on the win.”

Head Coach Jerry Moore

On the game overall
“In a way it was your typical Furman game. We just weren't as sharp offensively as we had been all year long, but I thought our defense played well."

On penalties
“Penalties are just eating us up. I bet we had four times tonight that we were first and 20 and that is hard to overcome against a good football team. The worst part of it is that it takes you out of sync and it's just a downer. It takes away the emotion that you have.”

Furman's defense in the game

“They may be the most improved defensive team in our league. They really improved a lot. They gave up the option pass, but other than that they really played really solid.”

Linebacker- Kadarron Anderson
On the ball going out of the back of the endzone
“I just touched the ball and just saw everybody went to get it, I didn't even know it was a penalty to do that. “

Bouncing back from the loss to ASU
“A lot of positives come from this. They are the number one team in the nation, they were supposed to kill us. Just going out there showing them what we can do, we come away with a lot of good things.”

“Hopefully something will happen to get us in the playoffs. We are just trying to win out and that is all we can control.”

Head Coach Bobby Lamb
Seeing ASU blocking the extra point and going for two-point conversion
“The bottom line is, Luke Wynn is our snapper he has been our snapper all year long he got a concussion the first half, so we have a guy snapping with a cast on his hand. The snap may have been a little low and we didn't handle it very well and they blocked it.”

Team's effort
“We really fought our guts out. I mean I am proud of our kids, they really fought their guts out, the only thing you can ask when playing the number one team in the country is to have a chance and an opportunity in the fourth quarter and they gave us that”

“Time and time again we defended them, and we truly only gave up four touchdowns and when you give up four touchdowns against Appalachian you have a chance to win I can tell you that.”

On the ball bouncing out of the back of the endzone
“Very odd play, the ball bounced out, Max has got his right arm pinned and he is reaching out with his left arm trying to get the ball. Referee said he batted the ball out of bounds on purpose.”

On offense in the third quarter
“We got pinned deep early and of course they had the ball most of the first quarter with our three and out there. We got something going, we really got something going on the ground. We ran ball the ball pretty effectively there in the third quarter.”

On effectiveness of third downs
“Third down is a tough down for us. It is one of those deals we are right there we just aren't making the plays we need to.”

Playing Western Carolina next week
“In tracking the SoCon this year. Western has done a great job of getting better every week. They have done a good job and we will get their best shot. We just have to keep improving and try and get over the hump here in the last few games.”

Running Back- Tersoo Uhaa
“Times where we really needed to execute and take advantage of some opportunities we just didn't do that. Offensively, early in the game we had 3 -three and outs in a row and that hurt us and other times in the game we didn't take advantage of opportunities”

“We have to pull it together and execute those crucial times in the game.”
