Quotes from an AP Preview of the UH-NMSU game

About how it isn't important to blow out teams, just to win, Colt said:
"If it's by one point or by 30 points, the only statement we need to make is keep winning." (AP)


About how they are the lowest ranked undefeated team, JJ said:
"Maybe around the country we're not given credit for being 7-0, but I think that will change if we don't look ahead, play hard every play and ... keep winning." (AP)


About how it isn't JJ's fault that they have a weak schedule, NMSU coach Mumme said:
"It's not his fault nobody wants to go to Hawaii to play. I think they ought to be a lot higher than they are and Colt Brennan should be in the Heisman Trophy race." (AP)


About how the interceptions shouldn't hurt Colt's Heisman chances, Mumme said:
"How many teams throw 75 times a game? That's like three games for most people. If somebody threw four picks in three games, nobody would say a word. The bottom line is he's got his team 7-0 and how many other quarterbacks in the nation can say that?" (AP)


About won the win was the important thing in their OT win over La Tech, Colt said:
"Had it gone the other way, it would've been devastating. The fact that we won, the sky's high and everybody's happy. That's the point. If you win, it's all good." (AP)


About the challenge of stopping UH's offense, NMSU safety Derrick Richardson said:
"It's like Colt has a sixth sense about where his receivers are. He could be looking at one receiver and throw it in the opposite direction to another." (AP)


About how he always worries when they play NMSU, JJ said:
"Every time we play New Mexico State, you just kind of hold on to your rear end because they're going to be ready to play." (AP)


About how they have a chance to beat UH, Nick Cleaver said:
"If we go there and play good we have a great chance. They are vulnerable. If we go out and play to our level, it's possible." (AP)


About how he doesn't care about his stats, just getting the win on Saturday, Colt said:
"Come Saturday night, it's not going to matter who threw more yards or who threw more touchdowns. ... It's going to matter who won the game." (AP)
