Southern Miss Head Coach Jeff Bower Quotes
?It is tough to lose when you play as hard as we did. Our guys really played hard in the ball game. I don?t know what happened on the extra point ? if it was a low kick or not. From an emotional standpoint that was a huge change in the game. I don?t know if it affected us, because the next drive they went right down the field. We?re a touchdown from winning, a field goal from tying, and we don?t make the plays. They are really good, and they deserve all the credit. They had a heck of a year.?
On What Happened Following The Blocked Extra Point:
?I don?t know if it was an emotional change, but they made it look easy.?
On If The Team Can Take Anything Away From Playing A Tough Opponent:
?We expected to win the game. We had a good week. I think last week at halftime it was a character check, and this team has the right stuff to win games like this. We didn?t make enough plays to win, but we?re made of the right stuff. We just have to keep working on getting better, and keep playing hard.?
On If This Was Southern Miss? Best Effort Of The Season:
?We?ve had a lot of good efforts. We played hard in this game ? that?s the way we expect our guys to play.?
On If
?Yes, they?re good. But when you play hard you make some plays. We gave them some yard, but we made plays. When you play with that kind of effort, that is going to happen.?
