Kyle Whittingham, Utah Head Coach:
It was a good win for our program. We started off and played real well the first quarter, very average in the second quarter, then pathetic in the third quarter and half of the fourth quarter, then finished off pretty average. So, you add it all up and evaluate it as a whole, the entire body of work wasn't bad.
You are not going to lose a lot of games when you are +5 in turnover margin. Even though our offensive numbers were not good at all, we took care of the football.
You have to credit (BYU) for hanging in there and fighting back. They have a lot of resiliency and heart and we saw that today.
I am very proud of our guys, of our seniors. We send them off with a 10-win season and a guaranteed Top 20 ranking. A lot of good things for our seniors coming out of this game and I am really proud of them.
In some ways it is (hard to play with a 35-0 lead). But, it is our job to make sure we do not get complacent. We did that. We got complacent, and that's on me.
Tevin Carter, Utah Strong Safety:
I had a hard time at times catching the ball this year. But today on the first one (interception returned for a touchdown), Reggie Porter made a great play on the ball and I was just there to make it (pull down tip for the interception). On the second (interception), Jason Fanaika made another tip and I was just there again to make a play. So, all credit goes to my teammates.
Joe Williams, Utah Running Back:
(On 3rd and 1 option play that led to first down late in fourth quarter) The main focus of the play was just to get a first down. We practice that situation every week. I knew from running it the two previous times that the linebacker would take Travis (Wilson, Utah QB). So I knew I would get the ball and just have to get that one yard.
(On getting second first down on final drive) We huddled up and talked about it as an offense. Two more first downs and then one more first down and this game is ours.
