About the delays in the flight from Vegas to Hawaii, Mac said:
"That was rough." (HA)
About the delay in their return to Hawaii, Richard Torres said:
"It was OK." (HSB)
About how they had their coaches meetings at the airport and used their laptops to review videos instead of meeting at their office Sunday morning, Mac said:
"We still got our work done. We made the best of it." (HA)
About how they are not thinking past this season, Mac said:
"I wouldn't do that to our seniors. They've worked hard, and they deserve to win. We're doing everything we can to give them a chance to win." (HA)
About how they rebuilt their offense last year and are rebuilding their defense this year, Mac said:
"It's the reality of the situation." (HA)
Mac said that:
"we're trying to win the rest of our games. We know our backs are to the wall, but that's our goal." (HA)
About how the players will review videos for an hour today, followed by a light practice for another hour, instead of their normal conditioning drills and weight-lifting on Monday, Mac said:
"We want to get a jump on preparing for Utah State." (HA)
About how he could not return to the Nevada game after suffering his hamstring injury, Richard Torres said:
"I tried wrapping (the hamstring) up, but I couldn't go." (HA)
HA Note: "Torres starts in all of the Warriors' six defensive coverages. Against Nevada, he was the "spy" in charge of tailing Kaepernick."
About how they will bounce back from their losses, Bryant Moniz said:
"I think we have good character on our team and every loss hurts, but there's nothing that's going to keep our team down. We take the losses hard, but we let them go and move on because if you just dwell on a loss, another team is going to come to town and kick our butt." (HSB)
About how their offense needs to be more consistent, Jon Medeiros said:
"Overall I thought we played pretty well offensively. It's just that we have to keep consistent. We scored on the first two drives and after that we were pretty much dead until the fourth quarter." (HSB)
About how they stuck to their game plan but Nevada was able to make a few more plays, Mana Silva said:
"It's just a couple times where (Kaepernick) made plays himself and those are the ones that hurt us the most. We had a great game plan coming in and we didn't stray from it. We just stuck to it and they just made a few more plays than we did." (HSB)
About how he gets better when he has more carries, Alex Green said:
"I think the way the offense is, I get better as the game goes along. The more carries I get the stronger I get as a runner, the more in rhythm I get." (HSB)
About how he's getting better at blocking, Green said:
"I'm getting more confident. Coach (Brian Smith) is working with me hard to get my feet right and get to know the system. Pass blocking was one of my weaknesses in JUCO, so I was really working hard in the summer and fall camp and still working hard this season because blocking is a big part of being a running back in a spread offense." (HSB)
Proud of the way that his team played, Mac said:
"At a time like this what you have to do is you have to fight through the trouble. I think they stood up today. They played to the end. I think they fought against an excellent football team." (HSB)
