About getting his first win at UH in the Kibbie Dome, Colt said:

About holding Colt out of the CSU game, JJ said:
"He could have played this past week. We got through the week with the win." (AP)


Praising Colt, La Tech coach Derek Dooley said:
"He's every bit the player you see on film. I think the one thing you see in person that you can't see on film is what his competitive character is." (AP)


Praising Colt, who Idaho recruited before he came to UH, Akey said:
"He's a Heisman candidate for a reason." (AP)


About facing UH in their WAC opener, Akey joked:
"It's nice to have an easy one first. I've got all the respect in the world for what they're doing." (AP)
