COLORADO FOOTBALL POSTGAME QUOTES Page 1 Colorado Buffaloes vs. Texas A&M Aggies, Folsom Field, Boulder, Colo. (November 7, 2009)

Colorado Head Coach Dan Hawkins

On the Win On the Game “I think they showed tremendous resolve, and I think that is a “I think there are some tangible things taken out of this game. great think about them. They continue to believe. If we could I think that Tyler was much more in control. I thought our clean up a few of those penalties then maybe we would not passing game matured with a deep shot to Markques (Simas) have to go through that. You have to love their resolve.” so hopefully our offense will start feeling itself that way and On QB Tyler Hansen and WR Markques Simas get going.” “I think that it was the first game that Tyler [Hansen] was really in a grove, and the same goes for Markques [Simas]. He was getting into the flow, and adapting to coverages. We know that Markques is a really good player. I think that he needed a few games to really find his groove.” On QB Tyler Hansen “We know that he is a baller. I said this before, he is a man’s man. He took some shots out there today, and got dinged up and still made some plays out there. Without Tyler’s ability to run, especially early on, we would have been in trouble.”

On the Teams Resolve

“I thought we had a great week of practice. They were very committed on the sidelines and in the locker room; I didn’t doubt that. I knew we were going to pull it out today.” On Recovering From the Slow Start “They were better but I don’t necessarily think we got the results we wanted early on. Ultimately at the end of the day, if you stop them and you score that’s probably the best possible scenario. I hope that coming out of this game, they have that understanding.”

On TE Patrick Devenny

“That was spectacular, it really was. We talked to these guys a lot about just making the lay-ups but then somebody along the way has to make the spectacular plays and I think that Speedy’s [Rodney Stewart] touchdown run was pretty spectacular and Pat’s catch was, I don’t want to say unbelievable, because it you are around him and watch practice he makes plays like that.”

On the Defense

“They rallied and that was obviously big. Texas A&M had a couple gashers in there, but we were able to come back and get some things done. Much like the Kansas game, we hit a rhythm there. We were supporting each other and playing with each other. At times we have had offense getting going and defense struggling or the opposite. I think that this time they complimented each other a lot better.”

On the Playoff Feel

“We just said your backs can’t get any closer to the wall. And if you want to go to a bowl game you have to win out. That’s the way it is, it’s ‘March Madness’.”

COLORADO FOOTBALL POSTGAME QUOTES Page 2 Colorado Buffaloes vs. Texas A&M Aggies, Folsom Field, Boulder, Colo. (November 7, 2009)

Texas A&M Head Coach On Late Miscues “We lost our punt returner obviously and we went with the

backup. He had a lot of confidence that we’d have a shot General at the end zone or at the field goal. We had our plays “It was a great football game. You’ve got to give Colorado ready to go, but we didn’t get that opportunity. That was credit, they came ready to play. They hung in there with not a good thing.” us. We never really put the close on them and they hung in there and battled back. I take my hat off to Coach Hawkins and his staff as well as the players. They did a great job. Our players battled as well, but they came up on the short end. I’m disappointed for them. We’ll get back to work on Monday and get ready for the next one.” On Turning Point of Game “There were numerous things in the game (where) we had a chance. Instead of kicking the field goal, we might have been able to score a touchdown. On the goal line, we didn’t get that. Missed a field goal, dropped a punt; there were different things in the ball game, as well as tackling the quarterback. I thought he [Tyler Hansen] played very well. There are numerous things. Some things you have to give Colorado credit for. They were a good opponent, and some things we inflicted on ourselves.” On Third-Down Defense “We’ve been a better third down defense than we were today. When you can’t get off the field on 3rd-and-16, there’s something wrong right there. We’ll look at that but we’ll get that fixed. I told the kids, they’re very disappointed, but we’ve got to go back to work and get ready for the next one. We’ll correct our mistakes, be accountable, and move forward.” On Red-Zone Decisions “I always consider it, but the field goal with the number of timeouts they had left on the board, and the time on the clock, I thought it was the right decision. I would probably do it again.” On Speech to Team “Same thing I tell them after they win. Same thing I told them after we beat Texas Tech and the same thing I told them after we beat Iowa State. They get 24 hours to sulk over this thing, feel sorry for yourself, and get mad at the world. You get back to work on Monday. This is the ride we’re on with these guys. Some guys are experiencing these things for the first time. We’ve got to learn from our mistakes and get better from them.”

I was able to give everyone a taste of what’s to come.” ON TWO POINT CONVERSION- “I told Tyler Hansen right before, ‘I got it.’ Then I found the hole and I got it.”

TB Demetrius Sumler GENERAL-“We played with some passion and heart, and we believed in ourselves still, and came out to win this game. We showed that we were down, but we still kept fighting.” ON TOUCHDOWN RUN- “The offensive line did a great job of opening the hole. It was a great play call. I did what I could do.”

ON LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK- “We have to keep winning games. Take it one day at a time. Come in to practice and practice hard. We have to get these wins so we can make it to a bowl game.”

LCB Jalil Brown

GENERAL- “We started off a little bit shaky. We went out there and they drove all the way down to the one yard line on the first drive, but we came together, offense and defense. We played together like one heart beat. That’s the way it showed at the end of the game.” ON MATCH UP AGAINST UZOMA NWACHUKWU- “Number seven is a great athlete. I went against him the whole game, one-on-one coverage a lot. Luckily I was able to stay in position, stayed disciplined, and used my technique to stop him from catching the ball.”

ON LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK- “We had a fire under us coming into this game. We had our backs against the wall too. It’s win out or go home during Christmas time. Nobody wants to go home during Christmas break. We’re football players we want to be here playing football.”

ON COLORADO’S CONVERSION ON 3rd-AND-16 LATE IN THE GAME- “That was busted coverage. That is something we practice all the time, but their receiver got open. I take responsibility for that. That was a busted coverage.”

ON COLORADO QB TYLER HANSEN- “He played well and he kept fighting. You can see that he’s a fighter, the way he kept making things happen. He willed their team to that win.”

ON THE LOSS- “It’s frustrating. It’s something you can learn from, but you can’t do that in the Big 12.”

ON WHAT HE TOLD TO DB TERRENCE FREDERICK FOLLOWING HIS MUFFED PUNT- “I’d tell him that it’s over with. I’ve made mistakes, everyone has. He was trying to make a play but it didn’t go his way. He’s just got to keep fighting.” WR RYAN TANNEHILL ON THE FRUSTRATIONS OF A CLOSE LOSS- “It’s definitely frustrating. We came in with confidence and two wins in a row. We worked hard all week; it just didn’t come out the way we wanted it to.” ON MOVING FORWARD- “You just got to let it go. Win or lose you got to come back Monday ready to work. I think our team has been good at that all year.” ON PLAYING WITH THE LEAD- “We knew our lead wasn’t safe. Anytime you are playing a Big 12 team at home, they’re dangerous. We never felt like our lead was safe. We didn’t make plays when we needed to, but we played hard.” ON THEIR LATE TURNOVERS- “It’s definitely tough. Turnovers anytime in the game, especially in the last two minutes or last quarter when things are getting tight it’s definitely tough.” Colorado Buffalo Football / POSTGAME Notes ‹ Colorado Buffaloes vs. Texas A&M Aggies, Folsom Field, Boulder, Colo.
