NC State head coach Dave Doeren
“Obviously I’m very disappointed that we didn’t find a way to win that football game and I take responsibility any time we don’t. There were plays that we could have made and didn’t, there were calls that we could have done better and didn’t, and it always comes back to me. I know this, I’m not going to walk in there and point fingers at anybody, we’re going to go back to work. We’ve got four games left and we’ve got Florida State here next week and we’ve got to play a lot better, a lot better.”
“There were a couple plays obviously in that game, when you have a touchdown called back on a formation and you give up a play on a trick play where our eyes were bad. There are always plays within a game that we have to play better. We knew coming into this game that they were a good defense and we knew that we had to maximize our opportunities and when we could score we needed to, and obviously we didn’t do that enough.”
“Defensively, I thought we played pretty well until the last halfback pass play, where we had a bust in coverage, a guy playing over aggressive in the run game and trying to make a play. We’ve got to get back to fundamental football and coaching these guys hard and continuing to hold everybody accountable within the program and working at it and find a way to beat Florida State.”
Boston College head coach Steve Addazio
“I’m proud of our football program. I’m proud of our football players and team. They played with unbelievable resolve and took a step forward today in learning how to bring the best out of each other. It was a goal we had and we did that today. To win this game today took something out of everyone. Everyone had to contribute, and that’s where we are right now. We have a collection of guys that are battling everyday.”
“This team has a a lot of faith in each other and this program, and that comes from the administration down. I’m really proud to be coaching this football team. I know it’s only one game but we took an important step today. NC State is a really good football program with a great defense, and we played them on the road. We had time of possession for almost 35 minutes which is a critical stat.”
“It was a hard fought game, and like I said I’m really proud of our team and the way they battled but more importantly I’m just proud of the resolve they had in each other in realizing how we had to win here. We had to collectively execute together and it takes everyone right now. That’s okay with us. We’ll continue to grow and develop this football team. We had 18 freshmen and sophomores on the field today and 13 of them on defense. That’s cool because we’re going to have a lot of people that are going to be here for a while and they learned a valuable football life lesson today.”
