Southern Miss Head Coach Larry Fedora
"It was a pretty tough loss. All the losses are tough, especially when you have it right there at the end. We lost the game. East Carolina is a good football team and Skip has done a heck of a job with them."
"It was two good football teams out there fighting today. We just let too many missed opportunities happen. You can't fumble the ball going into the end zone. When you have wide open receivers running down the field, you have to hit them."
"Martevious Young didn't play the game he wanted to play. He wanted to play really well. It just didn't happen tonight."
"In a big game like this, you can't miss those opportunities. When you have an opportunity to make plays, you have to make them. We didn't. I don't know why. There were enough plays where we had guys in position to put the ball in the end zone. We just didn't."
East Carolina Head Coach Skip Holtz
"It was a great win. I'm really proud of these players. We said it was going to go all the way down to the end. We knew it was going to be a competitive game that went all 60 minutes. There were a lot of great individual performances tonight."
"We talked about how special this defensive line is and how strong their push up front has been. They got their hands up. Every one of those defensive linemen has scored except Scotty Robinson. It's pretty special when you can make that kind of comment about your line. They're making it happen because of the great push."
"The offense had a really good day and put up some big yards. I thought Patrick Pinkney was really dialed in. The penalties keep shooting us in the foot. We had two touchdowns called back because of holding calls. That's unfortunate."
"I can't say thank you enough to the fans who came out here over Thanksgiving weekend and supported this team and what these seniors have done over the past four years."
