TCU Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Gary Patterson
--On Quarterback Tye Gunn
"Tye needs to settle down in the pocket. People are there (open), he just needs to find them. His legs were sore coming off the turf at the Tulane game. That takes a lot out of your legs. I told Tye to settle down and look at reads."
--On the Season
"We still have 10 games left. It's a long season ahead of us."
Offensive Coordinator Mike Schultz
--On the Game
"It was a short week going into the game. I'm proud of the way the kids came back at the half. We're fortunate to get out of this with a win."
--On Quarterback Tye Gunn
"Tye Gunn is a young quarterback and we need to keep in mind that he's only played in six games."
--On the Team
"Obviously, we've got a lot of work to do. As long as we keep working, we'll be okay. They are a young bunch of kids out there. We're still going through growing pains and we're still working through this."
Safety Marvin Godbolt
--On the Team
"We're not where we need to be. We'll get better every week as long as we pay attention to details."
Defensive End Bo Schobel
--On the Game
"We're getting used to the triple-option. At the end of the first half, we gave the offense words of encouragement. We knew that they would get it going in the second."
Tailback Lonta Hobbs
--On What Ricky Madison Said to Him
"He told me it was time to step up and grow up."
Quarterback Tye Gunn
--On the Game
"I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't confused, but it got frustrating. We got our butts chewed after the first half. It got us to wake up a little."
--On Having Next Week Off
"The time off will help us and let our younger players grow up. During the next week, we will heal up a little bit."
Navy Postgame Quotes
Head Coach Paul Johnson
--On the game
"We knew going in that they had a great defense. We did a really good job field position wise in the first half, but our offense couldn't finish off their drives. When they scored on their first two possessions of the second half, that turned the game around. We just didn't do enough on offense to sustain anything."
--On the progress of Navy's program
"We're definitely making progress, but we can't be satisfied with a loss. We just can't make as many mistakes offensively as we did today to beat a Top 25 team."
Navy Linebacker Eddie Carthan
--On the progress of the Navy program
"We definitely are a lot better than last year. We played good today, but a loss is a loss. If we want to continue the progress of our program, we must learn to finish. We have to play well more than just two quarters, you have to come to play the entire game."
Quarterback Craig Candeto
--On the missed opportunities
"We had way too many missed opportunities in the first half. We shot ourselves in the foot with penalties and fumbles."
--On the halftime lead
"We didn't think about the fact that we were beating a Top 25 team at the half. We focused on the positives. Both teams played a good defensive game today."
--On the second half
"TCU's speed and power caught up to us in the second half. Our front line got beat up and we just couldn't stay with them."
--On the progress of the Navy program
"We showed a lot of progress today. We played neck-and-neck with a Top 25 team today. If we eliminate all the mistakes we make, we could be a pretty good team this year."
