Q & A: Quotes from after the game

By Tony Lee On Saturday, September 19, 2009
Ray Holley - of what went through his mind in the last two minutes of the game.
"Maintain possession and run the clock out. My heart wasn’t beating so I couldn’t really tell you."

Kyle Manning - on how he recovered after starting the second half 0-for-6.
"You just got to put things behind you. Whether you complete the pass or not, you got to put it behind you like it never even happened. If it comes out good, do it again. But especially the bad ones, you got to put it away."

Manning - on what it means to win the Victory Bell three times in a row
"It just shows the hard work we put through the years. The past two teams and this year, we worked really hard, played as a team and it paid off."

Head coach Mike Taylor - on the experience of the 2009 West-Coast Showdown
"It was a fun game. They’re a good football team. They’ve been scrappy in all their games and easily could’ve won that thing."

Defensive coordinator Scott Orloff - on his reaction to the last two minutes of the game.
"I was upset because a year ago, we didn’t finish defensively. We played great football for 58 minutes. I was so proud of the kids. And then we just found a way in the last two minutes not to do the things we should be doing and we gave up big plays. Happened a year ago and I just got to do a better job coaching it and making us better."

Golden West College's head coach Nick Mitchell - on what he liked and disliked from his team today.
"I was pleased the way we stayed in it at the end and continued to fight. When we were down by 10 late, we could’ve easily let it slip but we kept battling and kept it close. And I was not too happy with our mistakes. Far, far too many mistakes."
