Stanford Post-game Quotes
Head Coach -- Buddy Teevens
Overall"I thought our guys came and played hard. I thought a lot of guys played young and made some mistakes across the board, but the effort level was there. The belief that they would have success was there, which I believe is very, very important."
On the Boston College Effort
"I thought Boston College played hard, a physical team as we knew. They mixed the coverage up, I thought the secondary did a very nice job, especially in the second half. The pass pressure, the guys kind of kicked it in gear in the second half and we had some difficulty protecting the passer and getting the ball off."
"I have to give Boston College credit. They played hard and they have some good football players there, the little running back (#20 Derrick Knight) I thought did a great job as the day progressed."
On the Stanford Effort and the Future
"But overall I just mentioned to the guys that it?s a team effort and we need to play hard on both sides of the football for the duration of the game. I thought the competitive level was there, there were just some plays that we will make in the future that we didn?t make today."
Quarterback -- Kyle Matter
On Execution
"In the first half we came out and really executed offensively, executed our game-plan, and we had a couple of big plays. I give a lot of credit to them, they made some good adjustments at halftime, and we just didn?t get the job done in the second half like we should have. A lot of that was do to the pressure that they were bringing."
On Teyo Johnson
"We are looking to get the ball to Teyo as much as we can, he?s, as you know, a dominating player and they did a very good job of double covering him in the second half?but we have other weapons offensively and other guys that can make big plays for us, but we just didn?t get it to those guys as well as we could have."
