Coach Fobbs on the turnover to end the first half
“We turned it over. They capitalized and we didn’t. We didn’t take care of the ball. In no phase of the ball game did we take care of the football and they capitalized. It was just poor execution on our part.”

Coach Fobbs on how to correct things
“We go back to work on the practice field and continue to work. We’ve got a ball game next week.”

Coach Fobbs on the Spartans long third-quarter drive
“I think we had the ball one series. It was a great drive by them. They kept the ball away from us and really controlled the clock. That was a big key not only because it was a long drive, but they came away with a score. “

Coach Fobbs on the offense
“I don’t think it drained (our defense). Offensively, we’ve got a part to play too. After the first quarter-and-half the offense was not there.”

Coach Fobbs on the short week
“They had a short week too. Then they had to travel, so no, that was not a factor.”

 Coach Fobbs on the Aggies fast start
“Our overall performance in the second half was poor. Our motto this year has been to start fast and finish strong, and we didn’t do that. We came out played well early, but we didn’t take care of the ball. And you’ve got to take care of the football to have a chance to win.”

Running back Michael Ferguson the new wrinkles in the Aggies offense
“We wanted to start the game fast. We came out and threw a couple of passes and on the run play it just broke open, so we felt like we could move the ball on them. We’re just trying to get players in position to make plays.”

 Coach Pete Adrian on the game
“Obviously it was a great win for us. It was our first road win in over year. I think somebody told me it was the first time we’ve beaten A&T here in over a year. We’ve got a young team that’s learning how to win. We’re playing 60 minutes, we’re not worrying about the score if we fall behind. Of course when you start to win, winning breeds winning.”

Coach Pete Adrian on the early part of the game
“We knew this would be a tough football game. It was a short week. We didn’t practice in pads all week and we played like that in the first quarter. We forgot you were supposed to tackle people. But we got that right and our offense was outstanding during the ball game.”
