Syracuse vs. Boston College
November 24, 2001
Syracuse, N.Y. – Carrier Dome
BC Coach Tom O’Brien
On the overall game:
"We are very disappointed. We didn’t tackle well, and they could pretty much run over us, so that’s the first thing. When they could run like that, they could pretty much do anything they wanted to do."
On Dwight Freeney’s forced fumble:
"The turnover and score just before the end of the half was a big play."
On SU’s offensive line:
"They manhandled us up front. They didn’t do anything we hadn’t seen."
On the condition of William Green:
"William (Green) was dehydrated, so that’s why he didn’t start the second half. We ran the ball well. We blocked well and the holes were there, but we just couldn’t stop their offense."
On the Boston College receivers:
"There were a couple of balls just off the fingertips – it really is a game of inches. And then we had the drop toward the end before we scored the touchdown."
LB Scott Bradley:
"It was a pretty disappointing performance – the defense really let the team down. They didn’t run anything we hadn’t seen, but they pretty much ran it down our throats. We couldn’t give the ball back to the offense enough."
"We thought we matched up pretty well and we thought we could handle them – but give them credit."
"Mungro definitely is a good runner. He runs downhill and runs hard. They ran behind him the whole time."
RB William Green:
"I took a shot to my head earlier in the game, but am feeling good now. That’s why I was out for a while."
"We wanted to challenge Freeney. He had the reputation as a big player and we wanted to run right at him."
QB Brian St.Pierre: "We did pretty much what we wanted to do. We put up 28 points at their place. If you had told me that before the game, I would have felt pretty good about our chances."
"It seems to have been our luck to have a couple of dropped balls. Who knows? But I don’t think it was the difference in the game."
"Freeney is a great player. He has a great rush off the edge, and it’s hard to account for him all the time. Parenteau did a great job on him."
