Quotable<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like a proud uncle. It was amazing. I was so hyped I almost caught a calf cramp just jumping out there, just being happy. It\u2019s amazing just seeing all those guys out there. They did a phenomenal job. They stepped up to the test. We just want to see, \u2018Can you guys hold up the standard?\u2019 and they did. They did a phenomenal job.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 Offensive lineman Matt McCoy on what it was like for Miami\u2019s veterans to watch some of the younger Hurricanes step up and make plays in the win over FAMU<\/p>\n
\u201cIt meant a lot. It was a blessing, obviously, something that I prayed for and the coaches having trust in me, it means a lot to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2013 Defensive back JJ Dunnigan<\/a>, on what it meant to get his first start as a Hurricane in only the second game of his collegiate career <\/p>\n \u201cBeing able to get in the game while being in the best running back room in the country is just a blessing. I feel like the older guys, Mark [Fletcher Jr.], Jordan Lyle<\/a>, Marty [Brown], [Girard] Pringle Jr., they\u2019ve all helped me from my first day here during the playoffs. They have all taken me under their wing and they\u2019ve guided me to get where I am today. I\u2019m just very thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Running back Javian Mallory<\/a>, on scoring two touchdowns against FAMU<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s awesome. Those two dudes work their butts off. Seeing them in the game, I mean, they\u2019ve been playing this game for as long as I have. I\u2019m sure it means a lot to them. It means just as much to me.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Quarterback Darian Mensah<\/a>, on what it was like to see reserve quarterbacks Luke Nickel<\/a> and Dereon Coleman<\/a> play the second half against FAMU<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s invaluable. I can\u2019t emphasize that enough. You would love to have another quarter of football and not even worry about the scoreboard. And I adamantly support playing players deep into games, [players] that have to be developed. Those guys that played tonight, they\u2019ve worked just as hard as everybody else. And those guys are itching for time. Unless you put them in the game, you\u2019re never going to find out what they can do when the lights come on. So, we had that opportunity tonight. We took advantage of it as best we could and certainly looking forward to watching the tape and seeing what kind of moves and what type of opportunities we can further create for some of those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
