Cal-Washington State Postgame Quotes
California Head Coach Sonny Dykes
Opening Statement
“I'm proud of our guys. It's the same thing as last week. We just hung in there, persevered, battled and played hard for 60 minutes. We got a couple of breaks down the stretch and credit our guys for making some plays. I talked to our defense there in the fourth quarter and just told them, “Hey, look. We need one stop.' If we get one stop in this ball game, we will win the thing and we got a stop right at the end.”
On being in first place in the Pac-12 North
“We have another game Saturday. We will start worrying about who's in what place at the end of the season. We just have to get ready for Washington and we obviously have to get better in a lot of ways. To our players' credit, they've found a way to give themselves opportunities to win football games and it has a lot to do with who they are. I'm very proud of them.”
Quarterback Jared Goff
“I'd probably say it's the funnest football game I've ever played in in my life. It has to be. To be able to be out there and direct, lead and command it, it was just so much fun. We're playing well enough to win right now and there are obviously a lot of things we can do to improve. We didn't play the best game tonight, but just like last week, whoever scores more points wins and we did that two weeks in a row.”
On the endings the last three games
“Two weeks ago, we played so well, we just didn't finish it. Then, last week we caught a bunch of breaks. This week, same thing, we caught a bunch of breaks. It's kind of like the football gods are on our side right now, and we're winning games. It's the best thing.”
