Post-Game Quotes
November 5, 2005

McNEESE STATE HEAD COACH TOMMY TATE
"Texas State was just completely dominating. It's hard to just come out and put your finger on the problems. They just came in and dominated on both sides of the ball. They really took it to us. They had great field position all game."

"Texas State just had everything going their way today, Coach Bailiff just had his team ready to play."

"Offensively we need to come out and do a better job getting field position. Defensively, we've just got to do a better job getting three and outs."

"We're going to have to go back home, regroup and pick up the pieces and see where it is we go from here."

"This was just a dominating performance by their team."

TEXAS STATE HEAD COACH David Bailiff
"This is a team that would like to accomplish something significant."

"In my two seasons here this has been our overall best effort and execution other than in the last six minutes when we tried to get some guys who don't play much some snaps. It turned into a disaster."

On the Fourth-And-Goal Play on Texas State's first drive:
"I have a senior quarterback that I have the most confidence and trust in. As you saw that trust paid off. I know the safe thing to do is kick the field goal and get your points early but sometimes you just have to go with your guts"

TEXAS STATE QUARTERBACK Barrick Nealy
"It was really important for us as a team. We got knocked down last week. We really wanted to see what kind of men we have on this football team."

On the Fourth-Down Play Early:
"Coach showed that he had confidence and we responded well. I think that was huge and it set the tone for the game."
