Head coach Brent Pry
On renewing the rivalry against Miami:
"Yeah, I think it's one of the better rivalries in college football. I'm glad that they're back on our schedule. I think it's good for us and good for our league. Now we got to go down and play competitive. They're doing their part, we got to do ours."
On cornerback Mansoor Delane's ability to create turnovers:
"He's not just a corner that goes out there and covers. I think he runs to the ball well. He's got a physical presence to him that complements his game. I think he was very disappointed in that first ball game. And I think to bounce back is a testament to the type of young man he is. It was important for him to work harder, invest more, and play better for us and for him, and he's done that, and he's got to continue to do it. He's one of those guys that we have to count on week in and week out."
