MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University selected player quotes from Tuesday interviews.
Wes Lyons
On his 20-yard catch against Pitt
That was in the play book for us before going out there. It was easy for us to make the play as long as it wasn’t blocked and we had the right coverage, so that’s what we did.
On winning against Pitt in his season as a senior
It was definitely big for me because I’m from Pittsburgh. It gave me some bragging rights to leave with.
Thoughts on Rutgers’ winning streak
We just have to focus on what they have. We don’t look too much into things like their winning streak because it doesn’t matter. We want to focus on them as a team and what’s going on right now.
Brandon Hogan
On the team’s difference in performance when playing at home
People just tend to feel more comfortable playing at home. We get out on the road and we start off slow for some reason. We just need to snap into it faster and execute our game plan.
On Rutgers’ quarterback Tom Savage
He seems very calm and poise for being a freshman quarterback. He doesn’t try to make a lot of things happen. He just goes with the game.
On Rutgers' wide receiver Tim Brown
It’s always hard dealing with the short, quick guys because you can’t see them getting out of the cut or breaking down, so it will be a challenge playing him.
Tyler Bitancurt
On his pre-game kicking
I usually kick alright and make as many as I can in the pre-game, but I focus all of my attention on the game itself and what I have to do.
On his winning field goal
I figured it was going to come down to me when there was only a minute left and we starting to let the clock run out before calling a time-out. I just tried to clear my head and kick it like every other kick.
I can’t describe how I felt when it went through the goal post. It’s like a dream come true. It was amazing to win against a great team that played with their all. The locker room was fun place to be after the game.
