Postgame Quotes: No. 16 Richmond Beats Duke
09/04/2011 | Football
Richmond Head Coach Wayne Lineburg
Opening
statement
"Just a tremendous win for our kids. I think they've hung together over
some adverse conditions over the last few weeks and we're all just proud of
them and we're proud of the staff for sticking together and doing things the
right way. We've got great kids in this program and it showed tonight. They
played hard and got after it, and it was a great win for the program."
On
the third quarter
"I think both teams just kind of looked like they found a little bit of
rhythm on offense. On our side of the ball I think Aaron [Corp] and Tre [Gray]
made some plays out there, and Kendall Gaskins started getting the run game
going. Those guys, they kind of looked like they started to run the ball and
maybe started to wear us down just a little bit, but our guys hung in there and
when it mattered really made some plays at the end that obviously won the game
for us."
On
adversity over the last week
"I just think it's about these kids and how they hang together and how
tough they are. I just think it's a great group of kids that works hard and
they believe in each other. It's more about them than anything else."
On
the defense
"Every time we needed a play those guys kept stepping up and making a
play."
On
Tre Gray's big catches
"I wouldn't trade him for anybody. He's as a tough a kid as they come.
He made a lot of huge plays and a lot of runs after catches that were crucial
in the game."
