Comments from East Carolina coach Skip Holtz after Saturday’s loss to N.C. State
Posted By Andy Durham on September 22, 2008
On decision to go for touchdown in the fourth quarter:
“The decision to go for the touchdown there was all mine. We had a missed assignment and one of their (NC State) guys got in the backfield. Give NC State a lot of credit. They had to make some big plays to stop us and they did. NC State is a good football team and (Russell) Wilson was very impressive today.â€
On fumble by Patrick Pinkney in OT:
“I kept saying it was a quick game. You just don’t have time to run around and hold the ball. On that play, Patrick was running out and they (NC State) had a guy coming from his blind side. Unfortunately, he was able to hit Patrick and poke the ball out.â€
On what he said to the team:
“Just like I tell them after a win, they have 24 hours to enjoy it and then they have to move on. It hurts, but I told them they have 24 hours to get the hurt and pain out. We’ll move forward and watch the film, and we’ll learn a lot from this game and a lot about us. We lost to a good football team…an ACC team. We’ll move on and get ready for Houston.â€
