On young players making their debuts: “In the end there, on both sides of the ball, we had a bunch of redshirt freshmen on the field. They did some good things and exciting to think where we’re going to be.”
Pinkel on Terry Beckner Jr. "He’s very humble, which means he’ll get better faster. … His upside is huge."

On first year punter Corey Fatony: “Corey punting was really, really outstanding, and he also did some great kickoffs (in place of Andrew Baggett).”

On freshman QB Drew Lock: “He got some time. He got a couple series that we put him in. That’s what we wanted to do and we did that with Chase Daniel, we did that with Blaine Gabbert. We’ve done that over the years and we’ll see where it goes.”

On updates with RB Russell Hansbrough and C Evan Boehm, who both left the game with injuries: “No. Both of them are ankle-type injuries and we’re just kind of waiting to see where it goes. You know, we all know how talented both of those guys are. Those guys are the middle of our offense. It’s just the sense of urgency to get our guys ready to play, and that’s what we’ve got to do.”
