UTAH HEAD COACH Kyle Whittingham
"This was a nice win for our program. It was a team effort start to finish, which is a team mantra of ours. No matter what happens in the game we want to keep playing hard and do what we're supposed to do, and we did that tonight.
"Our guys really hung in there and credit the players for how hard they played. They responded well to the disappointing loss last week. They had their minds in the right mode throughout this week of practice and came out with so many great performances tonight. So many positives came out of this game. This was a team win."
"This was a great effort by our players. We were a pretty good team tonight."
"Through three games our defense has been very opportunistic. Creating takeaways is a great quality to have. I've always said that turnover margin is the most important statistic in the game aside from the final score."
"One of our points of emphasis this week was that this game doesn't always have to be close. I guess our guys took it to heart."
"We started off a little sluggish on offense but then we picked up some steam and really put it into a high gear in the second half."
