San Diego State Head Coach Brady Hoke
Statement about the game:
"We have to play four quarters in the game. As a team and coaches, we took the second quarter off. You cannot win big football games like that. We could not have started off any better, but like in life, in football you have to finish."
On the play of his team:
"Our players have played hard all year, they have done it before. I like the way the team acts together and the way they treat each other. They show a lot of fight and I like that part of it, but I do not like the inconsistencies of the second half."
On the fast start and the lead:
"We have to keep our poise better, keep fighting and keep playing the game. They are a good football team with big weapons. They have a quarterback back there who is as good of a player as anybody and he is going to make some throws. They could not run the ball at all in the first quarter and the second they could, so we have to do a better job of playing."
TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson
On his team's performance
"Bottom line, we found a way to win. You've got to give San Diego State a lot of credit and now we move on. That's all we've got control over."
On the game
"San Diego State did a good job in the fourth quarter. Our kids fought back after trying to mess the whole thing up to start the ballgame. You've got to give them a lot of credit. They were a 7-2 team coming in here and they made it a ballgame at the end."
