Aaron Hunt
On how the win feels
"It feels great."

On being called a hero
"I am not a hero - it was a team effort."

Rod Gardner
On the last drive
"I just told the coach to throw it downfield and let me make a play."

On the closeness of the game
"It was in front of 85,000 fans and it was just unbelievable."

On the catch
"Once they scored I knew I had to make a play and once I made the catch I knew it was over. There was no way (Hunt) was going to miss the kick."

Keith Adams
"We never thought we would lose the game."

On the rivalry
"It is a great rivalry. South Carolina played hard. They played a great game. We knew we were going to have to come out and play hard. I am thrilled for our seniors because this was their last game at home. Since it is an in-state rivalry, you have got to live with the game 365 days. For our seniors to come out and win with a bang, that was great."

Robert Carswell
On the defense
"We had one breakdown but we fought hard. Our main goal of the day was to send our seniors out with a win and this makes four straight wins over South Carolina."

Chad Carson
On the win
"What a win! It has been a long time coming for us. We have lost games like this on the last play. South Carolina made some great plays and we did as well. It was a real hard-hitting game."

On the field goal
"Aaron really had the eye of the tiger. He has had a tough year, but he really stepped up today. I was really proud of him."
