Post-Game Quotes
Hawai‘i at San Diego State
Oct. 6, 2012
Quolcomm Stadium
Hawai’i head coach Norm Chow
On the game overall:
“You’re not going to win the game if you turn the ball over four times playing a team that doesn’t turn it over. (We) made crazy, crazy mistakes. We thought we were ready. We thought we were prepared. I’m searching for answers just like everybody else. We’ll go back. We’ll regroup. We’ll look at the tapes. I told them at halftime I wanted to see how tough we were. We just have to go back to work.”
On dropping the football:
“We can’t do that. We just cannot play good football against a team like this. They don’t turn it over. They don’t have fumble exchanges. They don’t have balls going back on the ground.”
On what is next:
“We regroup and go back to work on Sunday. We have a long season yet to go.”
On personnel changes:
“We’re going to look real hard at that. (It won’t be) a quarterback.”
Hawai’i junior cornerback/kick returner Mike Edwards
On the game:
“It’s a tough feeling. We’ve gone through ups and downs so far this season. The main thing is we have to move on to the next game. The next game is the most important game.”
Hawai’i junior quarterback Sean Schroeder
On the team:
“Our problem hasn’t been effort, it’s lack of execution. The coaches are putting us in great situations. Now, it’s up to the players. We’ve got to sustain drives and find a way to execute.
On the game:
“If you turn the ball over four times, you’re not going to win football games. It stings, it hurts, but we’ve got to bounce back next week.”
Hawai’i senior defensive end Paipai Falemalu
On San Diego State:
“(SDSU) is a good offense. Good running backs, good quarterback. My hat’s off to them. They did a great job.”
