UCLA head coach Bob Toledo
"We spotted them 21 points and still came back to win the game. I wish we hadn't had so many turnovers in the first half, but the game was exciting till the end. I made one bad call tonight and apologized to the team at halftime. It was the pass from punt formation. Sometimes trick plays backfire."
"Jermaine (Lewis) is playing on a bad ankle. I told him before the game that he was going to play, and when DeShaun (Foster) went down, I told him now it's your time. He gave me a big smile and went in and got it done."
"We had a nice comeback tonight, and we're going into a bye week with a 4-1 record. A lot of people didn't think we'd be 4-1 right now. A lot of the big teams have already gone down. I predict that the winner of this conference will have one loss."
UCLA quarterback Cory Paus
"The difference in the second half was that we didn't turn the ball over. I felt good right off the bat. I only noticed my shoulder when I got hit. Otherwise, it felt good."
"The game plan is to hit the open receiver. If the open receiver happens to be deep, that's who I throw it to."
Arizona State Bruce Snyder
"Obviously, it was very painful to lose, and I'm disappointed in the loss. I'm very proud of our team in a lot of ways. We played on the road and came into a hostile environment."
About QB Ryan Kealy
"Kealy is a great competitor. His love of football and Arizona State is greater than most people can imagine. It was dramatic to lose him and not finish the game without him."
"Im not sure how were going to come out of this game physically."
"I want to compliment UCLA on the way they came back. Theyre very talented. The third quarter was like an avalanche, and it was a real tribute to UCLA."
