Southern Miss Head Coach Jeff Bower
General Comments:
"We finished at the end and that made the difference in the ball game. We gave up some yards, much like it has been in the past we go up 24-10 then we let them come back in the game and get a lot of yards."
"What a great job to block the field goal and then our offense to go out there and take care of the ball, three snaps and kick it."
"We make plays; we made plays when we had too. I give our football team the credit on that."
Impression of first meeting with Marshall University:
"We knew they were going to be good. They are tough on defense and have been improving all year long. 105-8 is all I needed to know."
Quarterback Dustin Almond
"The first half we came out running the ball offensively, then they brought the safeties in on us. In the second half we did not run the ball as well as we did in the first half, but we made plays when we needed to make plays."
"We did not win the fourth quarter, luckily it went into overtime and we got it done. We still need to be able to win fourth quarters to become a better football team."
Placekicker Darren McCaleb:
"It's been a long time since I have had a game winner, since freshman year in Cincinnati. The win in Cincinnati got us on our way to the Conference USA championship and I hope that this will be the same way."
