Northwestern Student-Athlete Quotes
Demetrius Fields, Wide Receiver, Senior
On how he knew he foot was in bounds on the game-winning score:
“I didn’t. I just trusted my quarterback to put me in bounds. It was questionable but they reviewed it and I was in bounds.”
On having two strong quarterbacks for season:
“We knew that going into the season. We were really confident in Kain (Colter) and Trevor (Siemian) as well. They are comfortable and have confidence in us. It goes both ways. You can see when I dropped the ball he didn’t hesitate to throw the ball back to me for the game-winner.”
On the mood on the sidelines towards the end of the game:
“ The mood was really light and confident. Having dropped the ball, I was a little worried. I just wanted to do better."
David Nwabuisi, Linebacker, Senior
On whether there was a letdown with the team leading 35-13:
“There might have been a small lack of focus at the end. That’s something we have to work on. We talked about it with the coach already. That’s just something we can’t let up. That was the time for us to put them away. Those guys really fought hard, they really came back. They played great, but at the end of the day, we have to play better than that.”
On Chi Chi Ariguzo’s play:
“He played great. He had that interception, which he should have taken to the house, but then he picked up that fumble and took it to the house. Chi Chi really played great. He was a little banged up but he’s going to be fine and a great player for us.”
Kain Colter, Quarterback, Junior
On the reason Trevor Siemian came into the game:
“It was because of the injury. Trevor went out there and did a great job. I’m so proud of him. We came on the same year. It’s great to see him do big things. That’s what we expect from our quarterbacks.
On whether there was a letdown with the team leading 35-13:
“We make it a lot harder on ourselves then we need it to be. That’s part of football. It’s the first game of the season a there are a lot of things we need to work out, a lot of things we need to fix. Hopefully we can fix that next week.”
On whether he thinks he can play next week against Vanderbilt:
“I played in the second quarter and I went out there and played with it. I’m sure if we give it some time it should be fine.”
On whether x-rays were taken:
“We are going through the common medical procedures. I am not a doctor. I can’t read the x-rays so we are going to have to wait for that to come back. Like I said, I’m confident it will be fine and be able to play next week.”
