Postgame Quotes: Connecticut

Head Coach Randy Edsall
Opening Statement
There were big plays that hurt us defensively all game long. Missed a gap, guy ran under a block on a long run. We didn't get deep enough, we had them on third down and couldn't get off. In the second quarter also we are not built to go three and out and use less than a minute of the clock and for our defense to go right back out there, that makes it hard. We didn't get that done and we didn't tackled as well as the game went on. I thought we started off ok, but didn't finish well.

On moving ball well in first quarter, but not in the second quarter:
Well what they did is they took David (Pindell) away. They put a guy out there and didn't let him run the ball. What happened was they forced us to hand the ball off and we didn't get a whole lot of movement.

Senior defensive lineman Luke Carrezola
On playing at Fenway
It was awesome that we had people show up for it and we were excited, we wanted to keep that mindset that they wouldn't be able to do what they wanted to do on us but we have to be consistent, we weren't consistent enough and we didn't get the job done.

On the difference in the last three quarters
I think it's those explosive plays. It's something that we really need to work on because we play well for 65 plays but there are 73 plays in the game or something like that and there are other plays that we just give way too much yardage and I need to do a better job.

On how Boston College played tonight
I mean they came out and they ran the ball and we didn't do our job today and it sucks but we have to finish next week strong.

Junior quarterback David Pindell
On Boston College's defense
They didn't do anything really that I felt we couldn't go against and that we didn't see in practice it's just that we need to do a better job executing the plays that we had and a lot of that is on me stepping up my throws and being on the same page as the receivers. A couple of those picks weren't on the same page so we just have to do a better job.

On his throws
That was me just having to be comfortable in the pocket, trusting my line. That's one thing I still have to get better at just trusting my line and staying in the pocket because the more confident I am in my line the better it will be for me to step into my throws.
