Last Comment on the post-game Presser...who would you follow into battle?

Here's what Coach said...

We had a chance to win the game. It's a heck of a league and two losses doesn't eliminate us yet. People are going to put the fork in us and say that we're done but we'll respond. Our seniors have too much pride to let this thing slip away now."

On what they are going to do to prevent some of the penalties, especially personal fouls
"The next step is to bench a kid. If we continue to lose games because of it, then that is what we are going to do. We'll sit them because that is unacceptable."

On whether there is any panicking to still be a contender in the MAC
"Nobody's panicking there are five football games left. We very easily could have won that game because it was a game of momentum. If we were getting blown out of games then yea but we're not. It's the same thing that I told them after Akron, we need to be a more consistent and disciplined football team. That's been hurting us when we lose."


Here's what John Haneline said....

On the possibility of still winning the MAC East
"We squandered another opportunity. The East is up in the air but if we want to be at that level we have to take it game by game. Squandering another opportunity like this today rips you up. We have to be thinking about the next game."

On Miami's running game
"There were no surprises. Everything they did we saw on film. We knew it coming in and that was something after last week we wanted to correct. This week we didn't execute. We didn't stop them. No excuse for that."
