Bobby Carpenter Playing Quotations

There are some things I have to get done that would affect the way I do my job. My father's got to go through some things, and I did a lot of thinking and I want to spend some time with him. I'd just like to be there for him when he has these operations, and it would be difficult with the schedule, playing every other night.

A lot of guys were on the sidelines apologizing. Usually when we give up big yards on a play, it's one guy's fault. But we were all to blame. We kept playing hard and if we do that and execute, I think we can stop anybody.

I played some inside my sophomore and junior year in our nickel package. I feel I'm best used on the edge. I can play inside. I enjoy it but I enjoy playing on the edge a lot more now.

We were committed to playing today. We knew we couldn't be hung up on last week's game. We knew San Diego State was going to be a good team and they showed that on the first play.
