SDSU head coach Chuck Long stated, "That was a heartbreaker. That's obvious. It was a tough one. We had our chances. And, you know, Kevin [O'Connell], I thought, performed well in the game and it was just a tough one to lose. I told our guys in the locker room that I like the way they're growing. I know we're going to be a good football team. We had a good week in practice, we gave ourselves a chance to win the football game. We have the same kind of week next week and it's my job to get them up. It was tough, but we'll move on. Our guys are resilient. They're getting tougher and we know we'll move on to bigger and better things in the future."
