Those punt returns were an asset for us tonight. Overall, we have very good speed -- probably the best since I've been here.

I'm not thinking about (why the punt went wrong), ... I'm just thinking about what a bad job I did when I was put in. I'll look at the tape and find out what I did wrong.
Mike Scifres
I don't think the urban-development side has been addressed at all. There was just a big punt on that issue.
Janet Howard
We didn't block well, especially in the first half. We didn't tackle well on occasion and the punt return.
Toby Hammond
It's one of those things that as long as the punt team does well, I'm happy. But we didn't do well tonight. I'm more concerned about net punting than I am about gross punting, and our net punt obviously wasn't where I wanted it to be.
B.j. Sander
But a person's a fool if they think you can take a serious punt on when that exactly will happen.
Tony Alexander
He's a thinking player. He's extremely consistent. He never shanks a punt.
Mark Mersel
Both Mark and J.P. are capable of punting the ball 40 yards.
Pat Mcgroarty
Matt was a good buddy. He got hurt, though. I don't think it really mattered, friendship or no friendship. You can't punt when you're hurt. That's why they got Donnie, and Donnie had a good game.
Olindo Mare
Every time we went for it on fourth down, we were in their territory. We didn't think punting to them would be beneficial for us.
Doug Johnson
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
I didn't punt very well today at all. I just need to work on my drills. That's all I can do.
Reggie Hodges
Getting to know Adam a little bit, he is that way, ... I hit one good, I'll hit one better.' And that doesn't always equate to a good punt the next time.
Chris Knutsen
One-third of your plays are special teams, so to block a punt and get good field position out of it and score was big.
Frank Knight
That just kind of killed any chance that they had of really getting going, ... I feel like that was an important punt.
Josh Bidwell
Our defense gave us great field position and we got a blocked punt early. Luckily we were able to capitalize.
Chris Belmore
We're looking pretty good so far, but that's against ourselves, ... I know EKU is talented in that area, and the last time we went up there (in 2003), they ran a kickoff back against us, and they ran a punt back against us.
Jerry Moore
We are going to have to fight for balls in the air. Wright State will be very good in the air, and their goalie can punt the ball a long way.
Marci Miller
John came to us late. We already were way involved in our punt protection. He was a backup in that regard. But we had an opening on kickoff coverage.
Jeff Reinebold
When in doubt, punt!
John Heisman
We needed to get something going then. But we had to punt it back to them.
Arrington Jones
We've got to keep the ball away from Merritt with our kicking game. That's not a phase you can rest in. You have a letup on a punt and they'll make you pay.
Randy Tribble
Depending upon the conditions and the situation in the game, I think that's a reasonable expectation. I think these guys would rather go out there than play the field position game with a punt.
Jeff Choate
I wasn't happy that they didn't do well at the punting position last year. Actually, it stung, because I wanted to be there and I wasn't really given that chance. This could have been avoided.
Josh Bidwell
I think punting this issue to the Arts Commission is the fairest way of doing this at this point.
Alan Gerson
You're aware that at any given moment they can change the face of a game by returning a punt. They're fast and athletic and with a slight mistake they can make you pay.
Abdul Hodge
We had that blocked punt down inside their 30. They ended up getting the first down and that's what sent them down the field. They had the momentum. Again, penalties hurt us.
Stan Skowron
The Internet lays the groundwork. It creates a much closer relationship between bands and fans. You need that because the days when people walked into a shop and took a £15 punt on an album are gone.
Brandon Jenkins
At that point it's basically a punt return.
Don Breaux
The punt is the most important play in football.
Antonio Smith
We grabbed the momentum early on with their punt miscue. What I'm proud of the guys for is they never let up, and that's the sign of a good team.
David Comeaux
This is the first game we had the ball and drove down and finished like we were supposed to, instead of punting the ball to them and giving up the big play and losing in the last second.
Joe Nichols
I'm willing to carry a long-snapping specialist, yes. But he has to show me he can handle the full-out blitz that he'll get in punt protection. If he can handle that, we'll carry him.
Gregg Williams
If I punt in games the way I punted today, ... life will be good.
Sean Landeta
I never felt so bad after a win. We've got to get better as a punt unit. I was sick last night.
Josh Miller
You can't run down the field on a punt team without running into a guy from down there, man. We're everywhere.
Bryant Mcfadden
He was just running down the field on punt coverage and planted his foot and it felt funny to him. We thought it was a hyperextension at first. You've got to be cautious with that.
Curtis Brewer
We had the punt team going in, so I had to go in and do my job there. When I came back after the punt, coach told me to warm up. I was going in at quarterback.
Joe Tereshinski
Ben is not a concern and not a thought in my mind, ... You say Ben's a novelty. I'm glad you think so. But we're in a punting competition, not a media competition.
Micah Knorr
Buford came out and played real well. The punt return perked them up. You could see it.
Johnny Roscoe
It was a tough competition. He made me punt better than I would have had he not been here. So I'm grateful for that.
Jason Baker
[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
Take away three big plays and it's a very close ball game. The two big pass plays and the dropped punt changed things. But I'm happy with the progress we made and the heart we showed. I'm extremely happy with that.
Shawn Kimple
The wheels just came off early for us. Their big plays hurt us, especially on a couple of punt returns and kickoff returns when they got great field position. We spent the night with our backs against the wall.
Avery Cutshaw
We have to get better. This is a long season and you fight every week to win games and get better. And obviously we're not getting better on punt returns.
Dennis Northcutt
I'm taking the punt block on myself. We had a timeout (after the Minutemen took a timeout) but didn't make the adjustments needed to stop the block.
Jonathan Kirkton
That's when he (Boreham) looked at me and said, 'Look, coach, I'll knock it through,' ... So I said, 'OK, then go for it,' because we were thinking whether we should punt of go for it.
Greg Marshall
The goals are always the same, ... I would like to have a nice punting average. The most important thing though, is the net (average) because sometimes you're forced to punt it far or short, again depending on the situation. And field goals, you always want to make them all.
Steve Morgan
You know how some people just need the latest cell-phone technology? If you could say, I just got this from Punt, you were at the top of the heap.
Cheryl Ward
It was tough. We needed to at least protect the ball there and punt it away. At that point you're looking at overtime.
Denny Fedigan
One-third of play is special teams. Credit coaches (Dennis) Martin and (Ben) Foster for that (blocked punt). They do a great job with special teams. We got field position and we took advantage of it.
Frank Knight
I didn't realize that the punt was short. It was unfortunate. ... You've got to make your own breaks, so it's all on us.
Gibril Wilson
I can't say enough about our defense. I guess they ran 15 or so plays inside our 20-yard line in the first quarter, and they didn't score on us until we let them down on our 15 on a long punt return.
Dean Herbort
I try to do my part. It's gratifying when you pin them down there and the defense stops and they have to punt from the end zone - it's kind of the hidden stuff.
Chris Hall
He returned the punt past the 50, that let us tie and we won in overtime. He's had a history and a penchant for making big plays. I'm not at all shocked by what he's done. I know him better than Lloyd does.
Thom Mcdaniels
We do have a lot of new guys on the punt return unit and I understand that.
Dennis Northcutt
That took a lot of wind out of our sails. A lot of guys said 'Oh my' after that one. It was a bad snap and a bad punt.
Carroll Mccray
You have to take advantage of the opportunities you get, ... But we'll get more. I can't put my head down. I think I'm last in the NFL in punt returns, but it's a long season.
Dennis Northcutt
That is football. You have got to execute and tonight the kicking game wasn't there for us. They ran that punt back, we made a mistake but that's part of it.
Tommy Tuberville
I hear a lot of people say they want to see me on the punt returns and kick returns, bubble screens and everything. They want to see my speed so I'll give them something to see.
Jacoby Ford
I'm here to win a punting competition, not a media competition.
Micah Knorr
The special teams played well all day, ... Then that punt; that changed things.
Mike Scifres
That bothers me the most. We had all the momentum. Not only a blocked punt, but a second blocked punt... we're at home, the crowd is going nuts, you couldn't have asked for a better situation.... and we couldn't capitalize. We couldn't make it happen.
Lorenzo Booker
On punt returns, it was my job to hold up the 'gunner' who was trying to get to Reggie Bush.
William Buchanon
Our defense is doing an outstanding job, and we hope to keep getting better there. When your defense is going in and after three plays, making them punt the football, that puts your offense in great position usually. That's what we had the whole first half.
Kirk Williams
Our defense played a great game. I felt, coming in to this game, that we had to win this game with our defense. And that's what we did. You can't ask for much more than two fumbles, an interception and a blocked punt.
Reno Saccoccia
That blocked punt was a key factor for us winning the game. It is always nice when you call something and it works. It changed the momentum in the game.
Tim Dawson
That was their thought. Their version of the punt, pass and kick.
Randy Schaefer
I have to continue to go out and give 110 percent effort on punt returns every time I go out on the field. I can't get lackadaisical and say, Well there might be a flag' and slack off a little bit. That will hurt my game. Every time I go out there I'm going to try to return that ball to the house.
Dennis Northcutt
Up to that point, our punt team had done very well, ... Two weeks earlier, I was leading the NFC in punting, and I thought I was punting well, but they thought that they needed to do something to shake things up.
Sean Landeta
They're a good football team. They played well. They played downhill from the get-go, and we didn't respond. We had a punt blocked, and we had another thrown over our heads.
Sean Mcdonnell
It's kind of a black eye, ... because in this league you're only as good as your last punt. So I'm really, really fortunate for this opportunity.
Derrick Frost
When guys come in as freshmen, I make a point; Page and myself are on it, so if we're on it, it sets a good example. Then, we tell them how important we think it is. We hang our hat on punt team.
Spencer Havner
Those punt return yards were big for us because they kept us out of bad field positions. That yardage was like a couple of extra first downs and boosted our offense.
