Coach Whipple Postgame Quotes
On Jackson Porter and Lorenzo Woodley:
"We just keep working with them, Chad went out early and we told Lorenzo it was his game and he stepped up."
Is finally closing out the game a relief:
"We'll see, you don't know until next week. It's good to see all the hard work come through and we're happy. Our guys have worked hard and I like this team they bounce back and we got a W.
Lessons about learning how to win:
"We made a play on special teams and once we made the play we took a ball and won the game. We did things in the 4 minute drill better, last week we just dropped the ball. Our o-line did a great job and it was a great team win."
On Blake Frohnapfel injury:
"He got hit pretty good, we just put the next guy in and then he came back a made a big play on 4th down. Kent did a good job early, they showed some things we weren't prepared for, but Blake's certainly our guy and you don't go for it on 4th down without him. He had a great day and it's great to see him happy after a game."
"Kent did a good job in the first quarter and gave us some looks we weren't prepared for and got us with a sack. I credit Kent State, they've got a great defense."
On locker room after win:
"We work hard and you want to see the kids have fun, it's great to see. We've had some tough losses, but we've kept fighting and keep practicing hard. We had a good feeling during the week."
On no turnovers:
"We took care of it better, last week we turned the ball over late and it hurt us."
Jackson Porter Postgame Quotes
"We just kept saying to finish the game, make sure we have that definite win and we can celebrate at the end."
"It was important for us to keep getting 3 and outs and giving our offense a chance to put points on the board."
"It felt very good to get that 1st win, it was a much needed win. We brought the energy every snap and coach keep telling us to finish the game. We're going to have some fun when we get back."
Blake Frohnapel Postgame Quotes
"It was nice to get that 1st win out of the way and we're definitely excited for sure. It's a relief and exciting."
"Kent took away our #1 option, but we had other guys who knew they had to get open and make some plays. It wasn't our best game offensively, we're obviously happy with the win, but they're certainly things that we need to improve on."
"The whole week at practice our focus was on finishing and continue attacking until the end of the game. We've been saying that all season, but we never did it."
"The odds have always been against us, but you can't think about it and let that affect the way you prepare or play."
