TCU Postgame Quotes
TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson
On Winning In C-USA
"You can't go in with fire and brimstone. We play one game at a time. In the first half, they won special teams, but in the second half we won defense and won the game."
On Quarterback Tye Gunn
"Tye Gunn has been a mature young man since he walked onto this campus, whether it's in football or class, not in that order. Tye handled things very well. He took off (on long running plays) three times today."
On Running Back Lonta Hobbs
"We wanted to get Lonta into the game. He scares the heck out of me because he wants to play and he's not scared."
On LaTarence Dunbar
"You don't give LaTarence Dunbar three chances to return a kickoff. LaTarence Dunbar is a competitor."
TCU Quarterback Tye Gunn
On His First Start
"I give myself B-. You get at least a B if you win. I'm young and inexperienced in the pocket. You never stop learning. Dunbar changed the tempo of the game (with the kickoff return)."
TCU Wide Receiver LaTarence Dunbar
On the Offense
"We had a couple of turnovers, but we won and that's what is important. Tye did a great job. He is very poised in the huddle. It's important to make plays even when you don't have the ball."
On the Victory
"We didn't want to go 0-2 in conference. You have to play every game like it's your last."
On the Kick Return
"They just kept kicking it to me and I took it to the house."
TCU Running Back Lonta Hobbs
On His TCU Debut
"I'm shocked but I knew I had it in me. I'm feeling good. I'll be all right."
Houston Postgame Quotes
Houston Head Coach Dana Dimel
On the Game
"As the game went on, we felt like we were throwing the ball well enough. We didn't play poorly, it just came down to a couple of big plays to start the second half. It's frustrating for us. I think both teams played hard and with good effort."
On TCU
"TCU played a nice football game. I think we're to the point where this game could have gone either way. Their defense played well. They did a nice job."
On the Season
"I really feel like our football team should be more than .500 right now. But it's all part of the learning process. It's important now to regather and get ourselves a road win. It's tough in this conference. But we have another chance next week."
Houston Quarterback Nick Eddy
On the Game
"They were a dang good team defensively. Their front seven was really good. They pressured us and made it tough for me to stand in and throw the ball."
On TCU's Goal Line Stand in the Second Quarter
"They put up a good goal line stand. We just couldn't punch it in."
