Head Coach Rocky Long
“After two emotional wins our team showed maturity tonight by coming to play and staying focused. I think after losing to Portland State last year we showed maturity and it helped us to not let this one slip away.””It seemed that we were really lackadaisical on offense in the first half. The first series in the third quarter, we looked a lot sharper than we did in the first half.”
New Mexico Sophomore QB Donovan Porterie
“The coaches prepared us offensively and defensively enough during the week to make plays. I believe we did a good job of focusing and executing when the time was right.”After a week of preparation and everyone focusing on their assignments and alignments, I believe we’ll be ready for the next game.
New Mexico Junior RB Rodney Ferguson
“It was a good game, but we know we can’t relax. We have to go out there and get ready for next week.”We’re happy that we won and now we’re excited about going into conference and having a chance to do something big.
Sacramento State Head Coach Marshall Sperbeck
“It was a tough game for us from the standpoint of physically matching up with their talent, their size and their speed. From the offensive standpoint, we struggled and we look forward to getting back into our conference next week.”
“They (the Lobos) came out ready to play. They are a very good football team and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are a Top 25 team sometime this year. Their receivers are both big time players, their running back and quarterback did a nice job. They are very aggressive on defense.”
“We talked at halftime and the kids came back in the second half and regrouped and finished the game with dignity and composure.”
