Iowa State - Baylor Postgame Quotes
ISU Players
Jason Berryman
"I can't even explain in words how disappointed I am. We didn't play Cyclone football like we know how to do. We didn't execute like we could; all we can do is prepare well for nest week. We need to regroup. Any good team is able to deal with a loss and learn from it."
Greg Coleman
On reviewing plays
"It's not my job to ask officials about their calls. "
Overall
"It's tough to bounce back from a loss like this, but we'll have to get it done. We need to make more plays, offensively and defensively."
Jason Harris
"I wasn't surprised I got to play today. Coach talked to me earlier about that possibility. If the team needs me, I'm going to go out and play. It's a fast paced game, and I got the feel for Big 12 play in practice."
ISU Head Coach Dan McCarney
"We didn't make enough plays but we had enough opportunities to. It's real hard to win games when we turned the ball over as much as we did. Baylor played better, executed better, and it was a disappointing loss for Iowa State."
"We have to reach deep down and find the resolve and character of this team. All of us including me have to do better next week and we have to regain some of our confidence."
(Punt inside the 1-yard line)
"It was a huge turn of events because we had a chance to go up by ten and he (Sepulveda) pinned us inside the one and showed why he won the Ray Guy Award last year."
(At halftime)
"I thought there was real good preparation and I thought the locker room was confident that we could go out and win the game in the second half if we could just execute."
"It's good to see Jason (Harris) get some playing time and he'll get better and better with more experience."
"We've got to get some mistakes corrected and we have to show some strong leadership from the captains, coaches and myself. We've played some memorable games against Missouri since I've been here and they won a road game today. There's still a lot of things to play for and a lot of football left in the season. We'll do everything we can to get a win in Columbia next weekend."
"We did a lot of good things today but when we needed to be the best on the last drive of the game we were not."
(On the running game)
"We did some good things today with the third and fourth string tailbacks had some good, tough runs but we're not where we want to be right now. Taking care of the ball would have made a huge difference in this game."
Baylor Players
#11 QB Shawn Bell
(on his 16-yard pick up on last drive)
" I was just trying to stay inbounds, I saw the marker and wanted to get there and keep the ball inbounds so that the clock would keep running."
" Yeah, I could have picked up a few more yards, but I was just trying to get the first, that's all I was worried about."
(on the last drive of the game)
"It's the first time we've put a team away. I said that in the huddle, that this is what we want to put them away."
" I knew we had an opportunity and we needed to take advantage and we did."
(revenge for last year's loss)
" We definitely remember it, we didn't harp on it, but yeah, we talked about it throughout the week. I did say in the huddle let's get `em back for last year."
(on what this proves)
"We're 4-1, in our eyes we should be 5-0 and ISU's a great team, but people should give us credit for playing well on the road. We've shown we can do that - play well on the road."
#21 FS Maurice Lane
(on fumble recovery on 2 yd line)
" I just saw the ball coming and jumped on it."
"Yeah, I saw their play unfold and recognized the fumble and just went after it."
(on forcing 3 TO's)
" We always say two we're in, four we win. Two turnovers we're in it, four we win it, so we knew three put us in a good position to win."
(on keeping Austin Flynn touchless)
"We knew he was their main third down guy, that he got big plays on third downs. So we were just trying to keep him from third down plays."
(on what this proves)
" It shows that we can win on the road. We know we'll be all right at home and now we've shown that we can play well on the road too."
Head Coach Guy Morriss
(On a Big 12 road win)
"It is a huge gorilla off of our back and ISU is a good team."
"They (ISU) knew what was at stake and challenged us to the end."
"Turnovers were very uncharacteristic for this team so each of those were huge for us."
