Recap
Box ScoreHead Coach Tyrone Willingham
"When you play a good football team, at some point they're going to mount a charge, but what the team has continually done is kept coming after the opponent. Just found ways, just tried to make plays, so that attitude has really been the attitude that has allowed us to have success this year because our guys just refuse to stop coming."
On Troy Walters: "I'm guessing he may have been near 200 yards receiving. I think that is a fantastic way to finish your career, and as a senior to lead this football team out with a victory at home. You can't say enough about Troy. You really can't."
Kicker Mike Biselli
"I'm basically living a dream."
"I couldn't ask for anything more. It wasn't necessarily my kick that won it. I think the defense and the offense won it for us. I just went out there to prove it."
"I've been dreaming about kicking the game winner against Notre Dame since I started kicking. When I was 13, 14 years old, everyday at the end of my practices I would pick a big-time university out there to kick the game winner and today it became a reality. What a feeling it is."
Linebacker Riall Johnson
"It gives us a lot of momentum going into the Rose Bowl. It was pretty hard to get up for this game in terms of it had no significance as to where we were going to go, but I think we did a good job of keeping our emotions up?I think we just really stepped up today and played our hearts out when it came down to stretch. This is what the team wants to do. This team wants to win."
"It was pretty hard. We took a pretty big loss losing Willie. But I really have to give it up to Dorean Kass for stepping up and playing real well. I'm really happy with the way he played. I'm happy for him."
Flanker Troy Walter
On breaking the Pac-10 single-season receiving yardage record: "It really hasn't sunk in. I'm just happy that our seniors went out with a win, that we're gathering momentum going into the Rose Bowl."
Quarterback Todd Husak
On Troy Walters: "Teams know that he's our go-to guy. It's no surprise. He's done it every game for the last three years and he's still able to go off. One of the best experiences in all my four years here is playing with him. He's an incredible player, he's an incredible person."
On the final drive: "They made a mistake giving us a minute and a half. We did it at the end of the first half, too. Whenever you have receivers like Dave (Davis) and Troy (Walters) and DeRonnie (Pitts) and Tafiti (Uso), guys like that, it puts a lot of pressure on the defensive backs. We knew (we would score). I knew that guys could get open and I knew that the linemen could block. It felt good."
