Quarterback Logan Smothers

On finding out he was starting 
“I found out Sunday and treated it like every week. Day by day is our motto. I prepared that way and just kept my head down and worked.”

On the last play of the game
“We had a miscommunication there and we cannot have that happen.”

On the energy on the sideline after the blocked punt
“I mean no a little bit. We cannot let that happen. We have to bring our own energy and bounce back.”

On the ball hitting the turf
“It is a part of the game it is going to happen. You just have to endure it.”

On what worked in the first half of the game
“We had a lot of energy then. We were driving. We felt good we just have to keep that going throughout the whole game. Cannot let up.”

On expectations for this game
“This is what I have dreamed of my whole life. What more can you ask for playing at home against Iowa?”

On entering the offseason
“Take the good and bad from this game and work on those things and just move forward and get better each and every day.”

On rewatching this game
“I will probably watch a little bit and then try to move on.”

On how this experience will help him going forward
“A ton. That is all I can ask for just having a chance to play.”

On the season record
“It just shows how close we are. We are right there. We just got to get over the hump.”

On advice from Adrian Martinez 
“Yeah. A ton. He has been here all week. He is a great role model to look up to.”
