Question: When did you know you would be starting?
Bryson Barnes: "We talked about it right before the game started."
Question: What was it like for your first career start to be on the road?
Bryson Barnes: "I knew what was at stake, but you must be prepared and treat each game the same way. Right now, we have to keep things rolling and keep getting these wins."
Mohamoud Diabate
Question: How much pressure was on you guys after the change at quarterback?
Mohamoud Diabate: "No. We feel comfortable with Bryson [Barnes] as we see him every day in practice. He is just as good as anybody in the country. I did not lose confidence when we saw him step onto the field. We knew we had to do our job the same."
Karene Reid
Question: Did simplifying the defense make it more successful?
Karene Reid: "I think you said it. Coach Scalley has been simplifying things, but the game plan was perfect this week. We did a lot of film study and were able to match our calls with what we were seeing."
