Offensive Lineman Tyler Linderbaum 
On Spencer Petras
“When I knew he was going in I just told him ‘you are a winner. Go out there and win.’ And he led us there. He is commanding in the huddle. I thought he did a great job. Whoever is in there we have the utmost trust in them and they both have played extremely well this year. Whatever the quarterback situation is we are going to play the same way. We are going to play our hearts out for them and we did that today.”
 
On getting the win
“Yeah we went through a lot as a team. We ended up on top. We are going to keep fighting no matter how we felt or how players felt we are going to keep fighting for each other and keep playing for each other and we did that tonight. Just proud of the guys… We find a way to win. It has been the story all season. We have been in these close games and we just find ways to win. We just find ways to finish on top.”
 
On playing from behind
“Fourth quarter ball game. A lot of times you see teams just break in the fourth quarter and I think our defense played lights out in the fourth quarter and gave us some stops and gave us the ball back in good field position and we put it through to go up seven. That game is not over until the very last second and we knew that going in. Obviously those drives. We got it in there in the red zone. We just were not finishing. We shot ourselves in the leg a couple of times. I am just proud of the guys and the way we finished in the fourth quarter.”
