Kyle Whittingham Team Quotations

No doubt about it, it was the sweetest victory I've ever been a part of. I could not be prouder of a football team than I am of those guys.

It hurts. You don't want to lose players. We'll definitely feel the effects, but team rules and regulations are more important.

I think we've had a good spring. We've progressed, I think, in virtually every area. Spring is all about fundamentals and technique. It's not about out scheming each other offensively or defensively. It's about making every player on your football team better fundamentally and technique-wise ? and I think we've done that.

That was a quality football team we beat out there. Not only beat them, we dominated them, 38-10. Getting in the bowl game is one thing, but winning it is the objective ... Did I see a 38-10 victory? Absolutely not. Did I see us playing well? Absolutely yes.

My comment regarding ACC officials was unfortunate and poor judgment on my part. You can't beat a good team when you commit five turnovers.

We prepared very well for them. I thought we would play well, but I didn't think that we would win like this. They're the 10th-ranked defense in the country and we put up over 500 yards on them. They're a very good football team and we were able to dominate them. It's quite an achievement for us.

Thomas and Ryan decided to go in a different direction. We appreciate the contribution they made to the team while they were here and we wish them well.

It's always great to get a Pac-10 team on the schedule. That's a positive thing, in terms of recruiting and things of that nature.

It's for disciplinary reasons, and his future with the team will be pending the resolution of his issues.

It's an accomplishment and a lot of these guys on the team have been a part of all of them, ... It's great for the guys and definitely a very positive thing.

A lot of people are doubting us right now, ... But the reality is that we've lost two conference games on the last play of the game. . . . We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores running around out there, and they're good players. You look at us on paper, and I think we have the chance to develop into a very good football team this year and into next.
