POST-GAME QUOTES

Dayton Head Coach Rick Chamberlin

"This game started out like a typical Dayton-Drake game. Both defenses were playing well and causing the other team's offense to struggle. In the end it was all about field position and turnovers. We had the advantage in both and that was the difference in the game."

"I thought Jeff Pechan gave us a spark. We thought Rob Florian needed to step back and see what was going on. We knew he'd go back in and move the ball for us."

"We are a well-conditioned, athletic football team, and that paid off for us again the second half. Even though it was hot, we had something left in the tank in the second half when needed to take advantage of some opportunities we had. I give our players a lot of credit there. They take their conditioning very seriously."

Drake Head Coach Chris Creighton

"Dayton's defensive front ....They twist and slant as well as any team I've coached against. They are well-coached, smart and disciplined. We had checks in our run and pass but they made checks difficult."

"Offensively our game plan got off to a good start, but Dayton made some adjustments. Our quarterback had a tough time getting the ball off because Dayton is such a good pressure team with their front four. There is a reason why they are good."
