Postgame Quotes
TCU HEAD COACH Gary Patterson
On the game against the Aztecs:
"San Diego State is great, they play hard. We had trouble with them in the first half. We made some plays to get up and get going, but they're going to be someone to be reckoned with in the future in this conference. Right now, we're on a roll, especially offensively, and we were able to make some plays. Our guys are moving around and they're healthy and we have a junior quarterback who's played three years and he made some plays today."
On playing this San Diego State team under its new coaching compared staff to past years:
"I think they've gotten better. I've watched them and I think you're going to find out that they're going to do a great job
recruiting. I told people this last week: I have watched them play well on the road. When you play on the road as well as
they have, (the game) gets tougher. When they come to our place it has always been a fight. I think that we just have a football team this year that's on a roll, and that's not a reflection of them."
On how far his team will be able to advance this season:
"As you saw today, there have been upsets. You have to come to play. We haven't had success the past couple of years
against Utah, so this is a big game for us, just like the rest of them. Fortunately for us, we get to play at home and we have a lot of people that will be at the ball game. We're going to give it our best shot."
