Quotes from Dan Kelly

About checking the weather and field conditions before the game, Kelly said:
"You check out where you're going to be kicking off from, you check for any divots in the area. You basically take a look at the course and see what you're playing with." (HA)


Summoned with 1:34 left in regulation and UH training 38-35, Kelly decided to aim for the right upright.
About how he aimed for the right upright, Kelly said:
"The wind was taking it to the left during warmups. It was always fading to the left. I was playing it that way." (HA)


About his game-tying FG, Kelly said:
"The wind did not take it until the 10-yard line. At the last minute, it went straight up the middle or close to it. I was, thank God, I actually judged it right." (HA)


About his WAC Player of the Week award for special teams, Kelly said:
"I'm honored, but I'm still kind of embarrassed by my performance. Look at my stats. I was 33 percent on field goals. That's not where I want to be ever." (HA)

"I'm honored to be given that award. It's something to hang on the wall and forget about now." (HA)

"It's nice. I don't think I earned it. I had a horrible game. My kickoffs were good and I made one (field goal) and it was big. But I feel like I let the team down in a lot of ways and I need to work on a lot of things." (HSB)
