HEAD COACH, UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
On the game:
"It was tremendous football if you're football fan. Unfortunately, somebody has to lose. Obviously we didn't do everything right, but we fought hard. I'm tremendously proud of the kids for coming back in the fourth quarter."
On Nunes' game winning touchdown pass:
"Nunes made the play of the game on that play. Actually he made two plays of the game with the other touchdown pass. There may be bigger, faster guys out there, but he gets the job done. You need to contain him."
On not being able to beat Syracuse University:
"Syracuse is there with some other teams on the top level of the league. We need to upgrade in order to beat them. Our guys like to play, but we have gotta do better."
