Cincinnati Student-Athlete Quotes
Syracuse vs. Cincinnati
November 26, 2011
Carrier Dome, Syracuse, N.Y.
Cincinnati Student-Athlete Player Quotes:
Jordan Luallen - Quarterback
On his opportunity to play in the game:
“They gave me the opportunity to go in and play, so I tried to just go out and do what I do best: run the ball. It’s one of my strengths.
“When I went in there I knew I just had to make sure I executed and do what they ask me to do.”
On when he knew he was going to play:
“I kind of got the feeling throughout the week, they started to work me in a little more. And then last night coach was going through our quarterback test, like we do every week, and just told me that I needed to stay prepared.
“I was nervous, but also excited. I have been working really hard, so having the opportunity to go out there was exciting.”
On Cincinnati’s big plays:
“I just wanted to make sure I made it into the end zone. And I kind of bit my thumb on that one. I guess because I tried to start running a bit harder and when I did my legs just gave out.”
On the play of Isaiah Pead:
“He’s a great football player, and we all saw that today. He is a great football player, and what you saw today is nothing out of the ordinary. It’s just what he does.”
Munchie Legaux - Quarterback
On being comfortable in the game:
“Overall I felt good about it. I was running comfortable.”
Isaiah Pead – Running back
On his performance on Saturday against Syracuse:
“I was in the zone a little bit, my warm-up was a little different. I knew that I had a major role, bigger than it had been all season. I felt that I had to embrace it. With everything going on, it was a big game, and with a rookie quarterback, I had to be a veteran.”
