Elliott: “They kept fighting, they kept battling … they never gave up.” Compares it to the state after the flooding. — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) October 17, 2015

Elliott: “The way we came back and the way we rallied, it was a special night. And I hope our fans understand that.” — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) October 17, 2015

Elliott: His pre-game tribute with the visor was something he’d been thinking of. “Coach Spurrier gave me an opportunity here.” — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) October 17, 2015
Elliott: The black uniforms and playing “Hells Bells” on third down was his idea.

Elliott: “I couldn’t write a better script, to tell you the truth.” He won a state title at W-B. “Something special about this place.” — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) October 17, 2015
Elliott: “I’m a small-town guy … who puts everything he’s got into everything he does. That’s all I ever wanted to do.”

Elliott: Play-calling worked pretty well. “I never felt out of sync.” Struggles came from bad snaps, dropped passes. — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) October 17, 2015
Elliott: Hurry-up was designed. They wanted to push the tempo. “We’re going to definitely have some tempo going.”
