Head coach Brent Pry
On Alan Tisdale coming back next year:
"Obviously, that's a positive. We think the world of Alan. We've got a lot of meetings that have the take place at the end of the season here to see where this roster gets. He's a big piece of that. It's good news."
On balancing calling defensive plays and coaching:
"I think for me, personally, you always want to be at your best with everything you do. I need to do a better job as a head coach, and I need to do a better job as a defensive play caller. I don't know if that's because I am doing both or if it's just because it's a new thing for me. When you self-reflect and self-evaluate, there are things that I definitely need to do a better job of."

Defensive back Mansoor Delane
On how he thinks his freshman season is going:
"It's definitely been a journey. It's a blessing. I feel like when I got the opportunity, I took advantage of it. I just kept going. My teammates and coaches put me in a good position. I just capitalized on this opportunity."
On how his teammates have helped him throughout the season:
"I appreciate them a lot. They show me a lot of support and love. They know that, with me being a freshman, that it is hard, but they feel like I can fill that spot on the field. It means a lot because when I make plays, they support me, which makes me want to make even more plays. I am really thankful for them."
