Comment on your overall performance against East Carolina.
It was a tough lost when you get 300 yards rushing from one man and 500 plus yards of total offense it is disappointing when you loose and put up that many points, but we are going to learn from our mistakes and hopefully correct our mistakes this week coming up. We want to go up to Cincinnati and get a win and stay in the hunt for a bowl game.

Even though Joffrey (Reynolds) was running well, did you think you still needed to make some big plays to win the game?
We knew we could not just relay on the running game we needed to throw the ball. We had some plays in there where we faked to Joffrey and threw deep. It worked out a few times and Brian (Robinson) caught a few deep passes. We knew we had to throw it and we took advantage of some of the deep shots we had.

What were you feeling when the ECU field goal kicker missed the field goal late in the game?
I thought when he did that we were going to win the game it was amazing. We felt like we were going to win the game. But the game did not end that way and we are going to fix our mistakes and we need to take advantage of second chances.

Do you guys think you can go on the road and beat a hot Cincinnati team?
They are definitely beatable; we played them last year tough and this year we are playing pretty well on offense and pretty well on defense. I think right now we can beat anyone left on our schedule. There are no big blowout game they will all be pretty good games but we can beat all of them.

Do you ever stop and think how lucky you are to play at the same school as Andre Ware and David Klinger?
The way I look at it I am just lucky to play football period anywhere. Thankfully I got a scholarship to play here. I am going to just take advantage of what was given to me. Andre Ware and David Klinger have so many records I don't even try to think about that stuff. I am just trying to help my team to win some games.
