UNLV HEAD COACH Mike Sanford OPENING STATEMENT
"We are thrilled to win. I am so excited for our team. I thought our team showed so much character."

ON THE PLAY OF QUARTERBACK Omar Clayton IN THE SECOND HALF
"Omar didn't have a very good first half and came back in the second half and had a tremendous second half. He made a lot of plays and his cool and composure was awesome."
ON BUILDING OFF OF TONIGHT'S WIN
"We finished at the end. We made the plays that you have to make at the end to win. That is a very positive step for us. Obviously that is an ongoing thing, but I know for a fact that we gained a lot of confidence tonight and took a huge step forward."
ON FINISHING OFF AFTER GETTING A LEAD IN THE FOURTH QUARTER
"We celebrated a little too early last week, and we wanted to finish and celebrate when there was zero on the clock."
"It is not good for my heart and my blood pressure but other than that, yes. It was good that we were put in that situation and it was good that we were successful in that situation."
