Quotable
> On the Championship
"We had been playing well coming in and unfortunately we did not have it this weekend. We were flat the whole weekend as a team. We just continued to make some of mistakes we have been talking about all season and compunded it with more. It was a tough week and disappointing way to finish." - Temple head coach Brian Quinn
On the season
"It has been a tough year. We had a couple of kids opt out at the beginning of the season. We gained some ground and then unfortunately Peter Bradbeer decided not to compete in the championship and it was really disappointing for the team." - Temple head coach Brian Quinn
