"We were over that Boise game a long time ago." (HSA)
About how he didn't realize that he had broken their single-game passing record, Moniz said:
"I had no clue. I thought the record was 700-something, for some reason. It's awesome any time you do something like that. Every player wants to leave (his) mark on (his) school. It's a great honor, really a great honor." (HSA
About how Moniz isn't satisfied with his performance against SJSU, Rolo said:
"He doesn't feel great about his performance. He knows he could have played better (and) the record would have happened (earlier) in the game. He has high expectations because everyone knows how good he can be." (HSA)
About how Moniz shouldn't be unhappy, Rolo said:
"It's hard to complain about those numbers." (HSA)
HSA Note: "Rolovich said Moniz was partially at fault on the two interceptions. Moniz was hit while throwing, leading to an interception in the end zone. A "miscommunication" resulted in the other pick."
Praising Moniz, Rolo said:
"He's a special player. I think he showed himself to have a rightful place in UH history by the way he plays." (HSA)

About how they won't know who will be going to the Hawaii Bowl from C-USA until the C-USA championship game on December 4, Hawaii Bowl executive director David Matlin said:
"The reality, more likely than not, is that we'll have to wait until the championship game." (HSA)
"With C-USA having three teams receiving votes in the polls and the potential of a nine- or 10-win team, I'm excited about the possibilities." (HSA)
HSA Note: "Although SMU has not been removed from consideration for a Hawaii Bowl return, organizers of the Armed Forces Bowl, which will be played in the Mustangs' Ford Stadium, would like to keep the team home in Dallas. The Armed Forces Bowl is usually played in Fort Worth, Texas, but Texas Christian's stadium will be undergoing renovation. The Armed Forces Bowl, along with the Hawaii Bowl, is owned and operated by ESPN Regional Television."
Matlin said that no matter what conference UH is in:
"our objective is the same: to have a place for them in our game when they are bowl eligible." (HSA)
