It wasn't him. It was us. We did it. We weren't afraid of Randy. We hurt our damn selves. On that second touchdown, we called an all-out blitz and people didn't blitz. I'm putting it out there. Letting them know. Telling it just like it is. I'm not pulling any punches. We can't make those mistakes. That can't happen. It can't happen.

Al Harris

This is a great team effort for us. We played great defense to shut out a team like that. Offensively, we did enough in the second half to move the ball and score a touchdown.

Tom Stacy

As a unit, sure, we knew what we were doing. We want to score (a touchdown) every time we step out on the field; we feel like we have to score. That's our mentality.

Keenan Mccardell

Our defense is playing real good right now. The punt return team gave up the touchdown. The defense played real well against Troy. They had two big plays for their touchdowns. Other than that, we didn't give up much. I feel a lot better our defense than I did this time last year.

Wayne Grant

When he broke his leg I said my only hope was that he would play in the bowl game. Here he goes and plays in the bowl game and he intercepts a pass and runs it back for a touchdown -- that's tremendous.

Greg Mattison

All of their touchdown passes came off of screens. It wasn't until halftime that I was able to match them up in man coverage. It was a coaching mistake.

Bill Shaw

It was great to get my first touchdown like that, ... This game was all about the seniors. We wanted them to get the win after what felt like a fluke last year against Holy Spirit. I'm glad I helped the seniors get the win.

William Alston

When you perform and people are yelling, it's the same, like people (who) are yelling when you're running for a touchdown. The preparation is the same before a performance and before a game. Your heart is beating just like before a football game.

Gawain Scott

I loved it. It was a good route to Marcus Randle El and he just had the speed. It was a rush to have my first college career touchdown pass at Wisconsin.

Tyler Donovan

Once you see a touchdown, there's no need to make a move. You just use your speed.

Ted Ginn Jr.

He's a good athlete with game-changing ability, ... Sometimes we use him as a decoy. He also plays both ways all the time and has one interception for a 100-yard touchdown (in a 48-20 victory over Briggs on Sept. 2).

Todd Boyd

I thought he had a fantastic season. …Probably the two quietest records that have been broken this year is him breaking the season passing record and tying the touchdown record.

Jeff Horton

Of course you want to score a touchdown, but it really didn't matter as long as we scored.

Patrick Turner

In that situation, just do what you have to do to get the first down, ... That's it, just get the first down. And everybody on the defense is up (on the line of scrimmage), so once you get past that first down, then you think touchdown. First down, touchdown.

Ron Dayne

I've never had a varsity touchdown before and to come out and get two on defense is big. It's good to know you can help the team win without having a big impact on offense.

Butch Pedersen

That first touchdown, it was just bad technique on my part.

Juran Bolden

Our coaches always say the most important thing is the first drive, and we came out, got a touchdown, and we knew right there they couldn't hang with us.

Darius Walker

Their defense was able to contain him most of the game except when he ran for that touchdown.

Dan Fauser

As a matter of fact, in our Super Bowl year in 2002 we went to Denver on a four-game losing streak, ... Rod Woodson took an interception back 98 yards for a touchdown and really silenced the crowd. It was like that in Pittsburgh, too, the same year and in Buffalo. The fans were really on us and we went up there and got it done.

Napoleon Harris

They were grabbing and holding Jones' jersey all night long, but then we got the offensive (penalty) call. We had a touchdown taken away from us last week at McCutcheon.

Craig Barr

If they have to drop five to catch five touchdown passes, that's fine with me.

D.j. Shockley

I'm not sure they have what they think they have. It may or may not be Randy's first touchdown ball. I would say let the buyer beware.

Dante Ditrapano

How many big plays can you look at? - A fake punt, 97-yard run and an interception for a touchdown. Three snaps determined the outcome of the game.

David Reeves

After I scored that 80-yard touchdown, it really hadn't sunk in yet, and right before you know it, there was another touchdown.

Thomas Clayton

Our defense was able to get a lot of pressure on (California's) quarterback and our backs broke to the ball well. The one Luke intercepted and ran for a score is the first defensive touchdown of the year.

Ted Lepage

That was a huge play. I'm proud of our kids. We could have put our heads down after we didn't score the touchdown, but we didn't.

Steve Jervis

When I got back to the sideline, Reuben said, 'Hey, you got it for us,' ... I didn't know about that streak. I am surprised we haven't had a rushing touchdown this year, because we have a great line and a great stable of running backs.

Jason Wright

A couple of (college) coaches told me to look to break some records, ... The touchdown record is out there this year. I think I can get that one.

Anthony White

For sure I wish I could go out there and do good. I wish Wallace the best, and I would really like to throw over 100 [yards] and run for a touchdown.

Jonathan Moore

[Oregon State-Louisville: I love (ESPN analyst) Chris Spielman . After Louisville calls a pass play that goes for a touchdown (making the score 56-13), he chides Oregon State for playing man coverage.] I know this is an unpopular opinion, ... but it's not Louisville's job to stop themselves.

Chris Spielman

Every time Chad touches it, it's a touchdown. Everybody knows that.

Jason Carter

We're still playing really good defense and pretty inconsistent on offense. Prince got beat on that one long pass, but he made a bunch of good plays for us, including that touchdown catch.

Jimmy Shaver

We've been at this for a good three years. We have a lot of time, effort and energy involved. We're in field goal distance, but we want a touchdown. They (the people of Weston Ranch) really want to see a quality development, and I've assured them that this is going to be a first-class project.

Steve Carrigan

I think what that first turnover did for us was give us confidence. For the most part this year, stuff has not been going our way. Once Al got that interception and that touchdown, I think everybody felt it was our time.

Cullen Jenkins

Any time you score a touchdown on defense, you don't get that chance very often.

Paul Duren

(Against Oakland), they went to a three-wide receiver set rather than going to two tight ends and hammering folks. They spread people out, and it was on a broken play that (David) Carr found (Reggie Swinton) for a touchdown.

Spencer Tillman

Anybody can handle throwing a touchdown pass, or engineering a drive for a touchdown. But what happens when you throw your first pick, or … things go wrong? How's a guy going to handle that? I just feel good about him he's a real cool, composed guy.

Art Kehoe

He's a real versatile player. He runs the ball for us some - he's popped some big runs (including a punt return for a touchdown against Summers County) - and gives us a threat that can go down the field and catch the long ball.

David Witt

We didn't want to give up that touchdown at the end, but they had been scoring about 80 points a game, and to give up 10 ain't too bad.

Joe Kines

[TMQ said the Jets' last-second touchdown against Kansas City, making the final 27-7, deprived the Chiefs of their first shutout] since the Beatles were together. ... the Beatles were not still together in 2002, when the Chiefs shut out the Cardinals 49-0.

Jennifer Williams

We didn't make the best of our opportunity. We had turnovers that you can't have, especially as you start driving down the field at the end going in for the tying touchdown. We can't set up our defense so they have to defend against a good offense at the 1-yard line. We can't have that. Those are big things we've got to work on.

Nick Mangold

They scored on two touchdown passes and really hurt us through the air in the first half. They were physical and they had a strong passing game.

Rich Mcfadden

The only thing I was looking for after the touchdown was the ref so I could give him the ball so I wouldn't get a penalty, ... Go out with class like I do all the time. I wanted to do what P.J. did, but I realized I had to go out with some class instead of a penalty.

Dennis King

We hate to give up any touchdown. We messed up. We were not in the correct defense and we didn't line up the right way.

Bob Sanders

It's so much easier to get back on the field after a touchdown than it is after a turnover or something. When you have that momentum with you, it's so much easier to go on the field when your offense is rolling.

Tim Shaw

I was getting tired from playing both sides of the ball and returning punts. I beat my guy. It was a good ball. He went high on the tackle, so I went low and broke it for a touchdown.

Joseph Stoner

I was real pleased with the effort especially on defense. I thought that the defense responded well after giving up the touchdown.

Mike Allen

I was ready to go. I was all pumped. I just wanted to get that first touchdown out of the way.

Seth Wentworth

It could have been my first touchdown, and I was really disappointed in myself.

Jason Wallace

He was the one that didn't give us a touchdown, ... He didn't officiate for us again.

Hayden Fry

I was just trying to concentrate, to make a play to put the team in a great position to score a touchdown.

Patrick Pass

You can talk about the secondary all you want. It's not very difficult to throw touchdown passes to guys when you've got eight seconds.

Dusty Dvoracek

As a coach, it's hard to celebrate a loss. Yeah, we scored on Statesboro, but that is what we are supposed to do. We came up short a touchdown.

Jesse Hicks

We were running the ball very well in the second half. We had decided we would go for the touchdown, and not kick a field goal.

Paul Stanton

Once Al got that interception and that touchdown, I think everybody felt it was our time, ... When it happened, I had to kind of look back twice wondering if it's really happening because it's been so long.

Cullen Jenkins

It was kind of a bittersweet thing, like, `Man, I wish I hadn't messed up, but I'm glad I caught the touchdown and brought the team a little closer.' .

Taylor Stubblefield

When I get the ball, I'm always thinking touchdown. If I see just a little bit of green, I'm always trying to figure out what I can do to get into the end zone.

Reggie Campbell

[Pops will be back on the practice field this week, trying to achieve his next goal.] Hopefully, I'd like to get a touchdown, ... We'll see how it goes.

Tim Frisby

We made some adjustments on our defense. What happened in the first half is we were over-penetrating and over-pursuing. All week long we drilled don't over-penetrate in the gaps and on the edges. We got out of position. Each time, they had a big gainer or the touchdown.

Mike Huggins

They had three big plays, the long touchdown, the pass on a quick route and the punt return. We have to be more assignment-oriented and take better angles. But the big thing is we didn't block.

Mark Sulser

[Here's Spielman after Oregon State nullifies a sweet kickoff return for a touchdown with a dumb block in the back.] That's laziness, pure laziness, ... and lack of discipline.

Chris Spielman

Neither can you rush everybody. Then you're one missed tackle away from a touchdown.

Joe Kines

You can get a long drive and take some time off the clock, ... and 25 seconds later they've got another touchdown on the board.

Warren Cook

If we recover it for a touchdown, we win the football game. We executed the play perfectly and they recovered it, so what else could we do?

Mark Nardone

He grabbed the ball after I caught it, but I knew it was a touchdown. I was just waiting for the referee's signal. It didn't really sink in until I got to the sideline.

Limas Sweed

Blocking to me now is just as good as making a catch and running a guy over and scoring a touchdown. After my sophomore year, I got a different tight ends coach and he really just made me realize that if I wanted to be anywhere, I would have to put my face in someone's helmet.

Marcedes Lewis

[Niners safety Mike Rumph surrendered a touchdown when he took a bad angle on a deep pass to Owens. But he also leveled Owens after a 20-yard reception in the first quarter. The play was flagged, but the officials waved it off, determining the hit was legal.] It was nice - it was really nice, ... I enjoyed it.

Derek Smith

Hopefully, I'd like to get a touchdown, ... We'll see how it goes.

Tim Frisby

He's a quarterback, he was scrambling and he threw a touchdown - to Schultz again.

Dan Carlson

The crew saw a bobbling pass reception with no control, and while the ball was still loose, it was taken away by the Rams and run for a touchdown.

Mike Carey

He is very powerful, ... You can't really tackle him with one guy. You see him break tackles all the time, like he did on the last touchdown. Obviously his ability to catch the football is special.

Drew Brees

The last game, we didn't start off well. We let them drive down the field and score a touchdown, and that's something we can't do.

Charles Woodson

I didn't feel safe until we led, 217, and had the ball on our last touchdown drive.

Darrell Royal

My job on defense is to not allow the other team to get a long run or long pass. And on the return team my job is to catch the ball, if it comes to me, and try to run a touchdown.

Darien Johnson

They were playing Cover-2 and the corner was up a little bit tight and the safety never came over. It was an excellent throw and Caleb takes it in for a touchdown. Now we're down one touchdown and we're feeling pretty good about ourselves.

Jim Boyd

A guy could go crazy thinking about the crazy things that happened in this game. The touchdown on the fumble, the touchdown on the field goal. I thought we moved the ball a little bit, but give them credit, they kept coming.

Jordan Kopac

We're all the same, ... Carmen had a 72-yard touchdown in the Big 33 game. I'm not surprised by that. He's another guy a lot of teams didn't take a chance on. I'm excited for him. I know Joe will be fine at Pitt and my brother is coming up. We've got a pretty strong group.

Bruce Gradkowski

That pass to Antwon (Courington), the first touchdown, that was all him. I had a running play called, and he saw something and checked out of it and then made a great throw. That was all him there.

Jay Johnson

You look at the final score and it looks very similar to last year, but it was a lot of different because it wasn't 31-0 with 10 minutes to go in the second quarter. The huge play was the interception by Graham that was returned for a touchdown. We were fighting our way back into the game and that made the score 48-21.

Gordy Combs

Sometimes when I see a running back, I'm like, that could have been my touchdown.

Tristan Davis

Ashton's just a workhorse. To have one touchdown on offense, one on defense and one on special teams really says a lot.

Dan Walker

Our defense has been playing well. Riverside has a good offense that is hard to corral for an entire game. That touchdown pass made us look silly.

Steve Rivers

It was unbelievable on a few occasions. If he got hurried he made a play, he was flipping touchdown passes while falling down and he ran the ball with authority.

Mike Blackburn

After the first Torrington touchdown, we just had to pick our heads up and get back in the game and just win.

Jeremy Jackson

Two of the biggest plays in the game were the kickoff return for a touchdown and (Boyles punt return), ... It really swings the momentum and takes the wind out of your sails.

Tim Stowers

They'd rather take the 15-yard penalty than give up the touchdown or a big play. I kind of expect that.

Greg Carr

Jake gets a pick here, and that results in a touchdown. [Nick] Binks gets the pick over here, and we score after that. I think that's the way it is in high school football, that turnover deal.

Larry Wall

In the second half, with the exception of the one touchdown, we controlled the defensive side of the ball against the seventh-ranked team in 3A. We kept feeling if we got one big play we'd turn the game around.

Dylan Hollingsworth

[Robert] Hightower with a punt return touchdown and [Donovan] Fletcher with a touchdown on an interception did an excellent job of shifting the momentum our way. Add to that the nice job that [John] Humphrey did with the kicking game and you can see why we are pleased with those portions of our game.

Jeff Whittaker

I bet Eli doesn't even have one touchdown today, ... I'm the best Manning.

Peyton Manning

I dropped our very first pass, but the first touchdown was a perfect pass from Aaron. The defender had no chance. We got some more great pass protection on the second pass. Neff just threw it up for me to go get it.

Chris Abel

He wants to score. And it's like a guy in football, or a guy in baseball that wants to hit the big home run or do the big touchdown pass. He wants to be the guy and I think that separates him from some other guys.

Bill Mcdonald

I don't know if I'd use the word 'sandlot' (about Ginn), ... or maybe it's a good word. It's just, you know, fun. Every play can be a touchdown.

Jim Tressel

That's a quarterback's dream, to lead the team down the field at the end for the winning touchdown.

Curt Clifford

The defined touchdown zone is the first 3,000 feet of the runway.

John Cox

It's great to start out with a touchdown and get things rolling. Things were definitely clicking at the beginning of the game. That's how we should have looked for four quarters. It's a huge boost to score on your first drive. That set the tone for the game. Our goal is to make every quarter like that first quarter, where we're running on all cylinders.

John Beck

I'd rather not get popped. I like to get tackled. But it comes with the territory. The thing that's gratifying is when you get popped and you get a good first down, or you get a touchdown and make the big play to keep the drive moving and keep the team energized. As a receiver, you know you're going to get hit in the NFL. There's no way around it.

Bobby Engram

Irons works extremely hard and runs hard. He also has the speed to go to the house with it (for a touchdown).

Mark Zalewski

The one time you take a break on defense, they'll throw a touchdown pass. We've got to slow them down and get them to our pace.

Tarell Brown

As an offensive line, we don't catch touchdown passes, we don't make 70-yard runs. We take our pride through watching our running backs and wide receivers score touchdowns.

Matt Roth

The whole time we were driving, I was like, 'Man, it's going to be tough because we have to score a touchdown,' ... I thought we were going to have to go to overtime.

Lito Sheppard

We're protecting the crap out of me and it's really showing. Being able to get back there and make some throws, we had one holding call that brought a touchdown back, that was unfortunate, but I think overall, up front, that's the reason you're seeing all these yards thrown for.

Shane Stafford

I'm always looking for that extra yard and I'm always looking for a way to get a touchdown.

Tyler Rahn

The first time he threw at me, it was a touchdown, ... I'd go after me too.

Juran Bolden

We held their offense to one touchdown in the first half. Things were looking good. In the second half, we lost our focus. We knew what we had to do to stop them and we would have stuck with them if we were focused in the second half.

Paul Kenny

Des made a great individual play on that [first] touchdown. He had a great game for us.

Kyle Orton

We had two or three opportunities to score in the second quarter. We went for it on fourth down instead of going for a field goal, and we just got that one touchdown out of the whole thing.

Kevin Benavidez

When we gave up that touchdown.

Mark Davis

I never imagined we would give up the game-winning touchdown, especially with the way we've been playing. We had high hopes and a lot of respect for what we do. To give it up like that, it really hurts.

Mario Haggan

When it happens over and over, and it's no call, no call - then a call ... The touchdown by Randy Moss looked like a touchdown to me. The call on Langston Walker looked like a good block to me.

Norv Turner

Our offense did not play that well in the first half. We were able to score one touchdown, but we could not move the ball very well.

Chad Mckelvey

Our defense is real good. Even when they scored a touchdown, they had the covered real good. It wasn't like anyone was left open.

Brian O'reilly

We're always thinking touchdown.

Steve Bell

Yeah. And every time he throws a Hail Mary pass it's gotta be a touchdown!

Mark Karmelich

We scored on the very first play of the 2005 season. We called a misdirection play that Seth Brink took for a 35-yard touchdown run. It was a good way to start the year.

Joe Morin

They (Herscher) ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. We did the same thing but it was called back because of a penalty.

Robert Gray

Our kids never quit, but we just never tackled well and the kicking game, especially, hurt us. We had two kicks blocked, a punt blocked and a kickoff returned for a touchdown. That hurt us tremendously.

Richard Moseley

That touchdown to Ferguson was vintage Brett Favre.

Doug Pederson

Anytime you score a touchdown, you feel like the extra point should be automatic if you have a good kicker.

Robby Robinson

They can go down the field and stretch the defense, which is what Ben did. He went straight down the middle and caught a touchdown.

Patrick Pass

When they took that kick back for a touchdown, you could just sense a real momentum change on their sideline. And then we just answered it took the air out of their balloon a little bit.

Dan Walker

Thomas turned around and said, 'Man, I don't know what you're talking about. 'I'm trying to make this team, and we're going to go score a touchdown and get this ball in the end zone.

Tony Wragge

Every time you play against a guy like that, you have to be intense. I guess when you do think you're comfortable is when you let up and he beats you for an 80-yard touchdown. It's definitely going to be intense. I don't think any one of us is at a comfort level, as far as playing him for a third time.

Lito Sheppard

We just couldn't score. The touchdown we lost really hurt.

Craig Barr

Four plays really changed the game. The fumble on the kickoff return; a pass interference call that was the wrong call in the second quarter that would've given us the ball in scoring position; the snap hitting our kid in the face when he was in motion; and that 80-yard touchdown run. If one or two of those had gone differently, we could've been right in the game.

Kyle Davis

I'm thinking touchdown once I get to the edge.

Will Blackmon

She went in there, right through that line and made the touchdown in the last game.

Deborah Lutz

He certainly hasn't lost anything in his arm strength and his ability. He had his career-best season as far as touchdown passes were concerned last year (in Miami). I've got a great working relationship with him, and he does a great job of working hand in hand with the starter. And that's what was important to me in this position.

Scott Linehan

Our backs did a really good job once we got that fumble and touchdown out of the way. It took a while for them to get into the flow of the game because Crisp has a lot of speed that our young kids weren't prepared for.

Doug Johnson

He deserved a touchdown on his stats.

Will Blackmon

If you're asking me, ... it's a touchdown.

Marcus Pollard

There was no doubt in my mind we were going to move the football down there. It was just a matter of whether we would kick a field goal or score a touchdown. It seemed like we were playing in early-season form.

Kyle Tatum

I was happy that I caught the touchdown, but at the same time I was happy that we kept the lead and we were getting the ball to start the second half.

Dallas Baker

We did so well. We did things that we've never done before. I had so much fun. To see the kids accomplish so much in such a little time, it's amazing. The kids get all excited. To see them make their first tackle and first touchdown, they break into full smiles. It was a blast.

Corey Medeiros

He's a big-play back. He can break any play for a touchdown.

David Mckinley

That touchdown reception gave us a momentum swing and put us back in command a little.

Kyle Hall

There was a time in the first half where we completed seven passes in a row, which is really good. We don't care about touchdown passes. We don't care about yardage. We care about completions.

Mark Wildman

There are four or five plays every game that will determine the outcome, and those plays are (usually) special teams. There's nothing worse than your offense going eight or nine plays for a touchdown, and then you kick off and see the other team go all the way with one play. That's demoralizing. We've come to understand the importance of special teams.

Joe Taylor

I was very disappointed early in the game by the defense. We got caught off guard a little bit. We were expecting a mix of run and pass. After we answered their touchdown we settled down.

Sean Mcdonnell

We scored that touchdown, and once we did that, we started playing with confidence.

Randy Carlisle

Marvin Harrison. He's a smaller guy, and I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves. He's been doing it for a long time, and he does it quietly. He's not out flaunting everything; he's not a flashy guy. He's the type of guy who will catch a touchdown then throw (the ball) to the ref.

Quentin Jammer

If we could have gotten a touchdown there, I think that would have ended the game, definitely. 28-7 going into the half? Maybe they would have played well in the second half, but I think that pretty much would have ended the game.

Bryan Cupito

Chris Wells had a fantastic game. He made some big plays. He scored the long touchdown and had two interceptions. He can lock down (on a receiver) as a linebacker and you don't get that too often.

Paul Klaboe

I've never won a game without an offensive touchdown. It was very frustrating to keep driving the ball and have the turnovers. But we had to block it out and just focus on coming back.

Adam Bednarik

That's football. You get hit for a touchdown, they'll come back at you.

Juran Bolden

Pure guts. That's Eli. I mean, he's a Manning. He's an incredible player. To be hurting the way he was – I know he had to have been hurting, but to get the ball down there 50 yards over the top of the safety for a touchdown, that's Eli. You're going to start expecting those out of him. He's a great athlete.

Jared Lorenzen

It was definitely a coming-out party for me. He did catch a four-yard touchdown pass (late in the game) that the NFL Network keeps showing every week, but it was cool. I was excited. I was just glad to have the opportunity, that early in my career, to play against a top-notch receiver and do well. Am I satisfied? No, because he got that touchdown.

Lito Sheppard

That kept the momentum in our favor. That was a great goal-line stand by our kids. We almost had one like that against Erie McDowell [in a 35-32 loss] but we gave up a touchdown on fourth and 1.

Bill Gallagher

We gave up a big touchdown in the second half, uncontested almost. From that, our kids could have folded up but we came back and played hard.

Doug Baldwin

It's OK. I feel I can do better and do more. A touchdown each game, I don't think about that. I try to score every game.

James Hardy

When you start out the game by returning the kick for a touchdown, that kind of sets the tone for you.

Steve Struzyk

We needed a big play. I threw it up, David go under it touchdown!

Chris Wolfe

I thought it was over, ... I didn't think Kordell Stewart could throw the ball that far. Then I watched it in the air and remember thinking, 'It might get there.' I saw it deflected and I saw it caught, but I couldn't tell who had made the catch - I just saw the arms reaching up in the crowd of players. But I saw the referee signal a touchdown. I knew CU had won.

Larry Zimmer

Behind me was the library with its huge mosaic of `Touchdown Jesus.' The ball went up and cleared the crossbar by 3 inches. I know that wind stopped at that second, and I'm convinced `Touchdown Jesus' gave the ball a little nudge to get it over.

Harry Oliver

In the roles that I do play in, there are a lot of opportunities for a person to make plays. Every time I do step out there and try to return a punt, I am trying to return it for a touchdown. Sometimes, I do get myself in trouble by trying to do too much, but that's just the fight and hunger I have to win the game.

Calvin Lowry

We had good luck there, but we had bad luck in missing the point after touchdown to make us have to onside kick in the first place. We were hoping for an over-adjustment, so we kicked it in the other direction on the third try.

Brian Rector

Brad just came into the game on that drive and did some great things. He threw a great ball on the touchdown and Shaun made a nice adjustment to move inside and go up high to get it.

Aaron Stiegeler

We needed to get back in the win column. The first half we were a little tight. We had a couple of chances where we didn't score and getting that touchdown at the end of the first half was big.

Pat O'brien

We let them take the opening kickoff and drive it in for a touchdown. But after that, we really held them down. They got a long run toward the end of the game when we had our younger players in, and that accounted for about 80 yards of their offense.

Parker Stubbs

The only thing that makes it a bad drive is we didn't score [a touchdown]. We didn't capitalize. It was awesome to eat up the clock and move the football, but we've got to finish drives. That will be motivation for next year.

Kyle Tatum

Yeah, I guess it's one of those things you look at and you say, 'I want to score a touchdown before I'm done playing football,'.

Keith Brooking

I've never scored a touchdown in my life.

Julie White

I gave them a touchdown, the special teams gave them a touchdown. That's two touchdowns on us.

Drew Tate

My coach always knows how to motivate me, and he told me this was a true challenge. [Maddox] was tough, but I stuck with him. I took a reception out of his hands for an interception and he took an interception out of my hands for a touchdown. But we shut him down most of the game.

Dominique Joseph

It's about as frustrating as it can get. We held them to one offensive touchdown in the second half. You take away the two defensive touchdowns they scored and we end up winning the game.

Brandon Villarreal

Blocking, to me now, is just as good as making a catch and scoring a touchdown or running a guy over.

Marcedes Lewis

It felt good to finally get a touchdown. When I caught it, I saw the linebacker go to my outside, so I turned to my inside and once I turned inside it was wide open.

Darren Sproles

That was [Hawkins'] first touchdown catch, [and] he'll have more.

Brian Seymore

They came out ready to play tonight, and we didn't. We take pride in our defense here at Georgia, and they made us look bad. In the second half, we started getting the drift of things and held them to a touchdown, but, unfortunately, they had jumped us for those 28 points early.

Quentin Moses

I'm 99.7 percent healthy. As you can see from my [29-yard touchdown catch against the Browns], I was a little rusty in the end zone. I forgot how to react and I gave the ball to a kid wearing Roy's [No. 11] jersey. I told Roy he has to give it to a kid wearing my No. 80 when he scores.

Charles Rogers

I always keep a good amount of confidence, but you know, it's good to get a touchdown. A touchdown is a touchdown. That's why the game is played, so it's definitely a booster. It felt good.

Quincy Morgan

Our game plan was to bend and not break. After (Paul VI's first touchdown), we shut them down in the first half.

Tony Nicolino

You've got to play and the bottom line is that they kicked our (expletive) up front. When you've got a good quarterback, you've got to protect him. We didn't do that. We had a chance to make plays. We dropped a touchdown pass on fourth down. Little things like that are the difference in Arena football.

Gene Nudo

It was a relief to me. If I had caught that touchdown pass I could have sealed the victory. When that kicker missed it I almost cried. I'm just glad we came out with a victory.

Dwayne Bowe

Darren Evans has played great the last three weeks. Two weeks ago he had an interception return for a touchdown, and last week he led the team in tackles with 10. The best thing about him is that he is only a sophomore, and he'll be around for two more years.

Phillip Deas

All we were trying to do was wear down the clock and we turn it over and give them a cheap touchdown.

Mike Allen

We saw that play all week and just didn't play it well in the game. We had several guys that could have turned that play inside and it probably wouldn't have been a touchdown. A couple of guys played the wrong side of the blocks.

Phillip Daniels

Imagine scoring a touchdown and the Northern Lights in the shopping center lights up and comes into the stadium.

David Murphy

I think they knew it was coming to me, especially after the first touchdown. You gotta give them credit for making the play when they needed to make it.

Brad Wood

It was just a little bit behind me, but I still should have made a play on it. I was thinking touchdown, but it was kind of dying on me so I was trying to slow down.

Devin Aromashodu

As an individual, my goal is, of course, to have more (tackles) than I had last year. I still need to get an interception -- that's one of my goals, too ... and a touchdown, too. Honestly, as a defense, you're going to see us running to the ball more, everyone just swarming the ball.

Joe Lobendahn

Every great player drops a touchdown pass. I'm just happy I got mine out of the way early. That will be the last one, guaranteed.

Dwayne Bowe

We made some key mistakes. Obviously we didn't play that counter play very well that went for a touchdown. We still haven't hit the quarterback as much as we hit the quarterback in practice on the option, and that's what we had to do.

Eric Cardinal

If it's always looking like that, that's a good thing. It means I'm doing my job and getting it out there. If we're one block away [from a touchdown] or I'm making one guy miss away, then it's right there. It's only Week 4 and I'm learning as we go.

Ellis Hobbs

We scored that last field goal, and me and [tackle] Jonathan Ogden were kind of saying to ourselves, we need a touchdown. Sure enough, we got up, our only lead of the game, and that wasn't enough. Of course, that falls on us. We did some good things. Whatever we can grab from this loss, we'll take it and try to get better.

Edwin Mulitalo

I think I got hit more by my own players after that touchdown than I did the whole game.

Edrick Sweeting

He's a backside runner. If he catches you running to the ball, he'll make you pay for it. Him making you pay for it is a lot different than other backs. Most times, it will cost you 10 yards or so. With him, he'll take it 50 yards for a touchdown.

Ed Jasper

Ever since I was a rookie, I told my blockers I'd give them $100 for every touchdown I score. It got up around $5,000 last year.

Eddie Drummond

I don't know what everyone's expectations are. If they think he's going to throw a touchdown every pass, that's not likely. But is he going to be a guy who's a very successful player? Yes, he will be. Health and progress will determine exactly how far that goes.
