Baylor Head Coach-Kevin Steele
On Baylor: "At the beginning of this season I thought we had a good football team and I still think we have a good football team. I think we are big, strong and fast but we laid a goose egg today. We didn't play well and we didn't coach well. This game is not going to change where this team is going. I thought we played tight today. At half time I thought we were going to come back and make a move but we didn't. We had spurts where we had momentum. There were a couple times early in the game where we had the momentum to our advantage and we kind of shout ourselves in the foot. I think if we would have scored early and made it 10-7 or 17-7 it would have been a different ball game."
On Iowa State: "Iowa State is a good team, they are well coached and they played well."
On Seneca Wallace: "He is an athletic QB and he throws the ball well. He is highly competitive and hard to contain. He will give a lot of teams trouble."
Baylor Player Quotes
Reggie Newhouse-WR
On Baylor: "We didn't really relax and get into the offense. We kept putting ourselves in a hole. We are confident coming into every game."
On Iowa State: "They are a decent football team, they can make a lot of plays, but we struggled and didn't take advantage of what was given to us."
On comparing both his quarterbacks: "There is no comparison (between both QB's). Both make good reads. We just didn't take advantage of what they were giving us."
Josh Zachary-QB
"I thought I did well at times, than at other times, did not do so well. When I entered the game we put together a 17-play drive and it seemed like we were clicking. Than somehow we didn't get any points. It was a little frustrating not getting any points on the board in that drive, but we tried to stay positive. Greg is our starting QB and if I am needed, I will step up and be ready to play."
Iowa State Head Coach Dan McCarney
" I thought we played an excellent game today. We maintained and sustained through out the whole game. I think Baylor has improved tremendously this season. Anytime you go up against a team that is 2-0 you have to expect a good ball game."
(On Seneca Wallace) "He has gotten better and better each game. He comes to practice on Monday ready to improve from the last practice. But he has got to improve if we are going to go up against top 10 defenses in the nation."
(On the defense) " I think that the coaches were more stressed at times than the players were today. We had some questions before we went into the game today and they answered some of them ... We are not the Baltimore Ravens defense, but anytime you shut out a Big 12 opponent, that says something."
(On Nebraska) "Nebraska is in a class by themselves. I think that (Lincoln) is the toughest place to play in college football and it has been that way for the last 40-50 years. We are going to have to work very hard this week and improve tremendously for them"
Iowa State Player Quotes
Lane Danielsen-WR:
"Seneca was in a groove today. We were all in a groove today it seemed. We had our confidence in full stride today. Top to bottom, we are looking more solid. There is not much drop off between No. 1 and No. 2, but we still need to improve a lot."
Seneca Wallace-QB:
"I just wanted to come out and complete some passes. Today they tried to stop the run, so the passes were there today. I threw a couple of decent passes, but it is not all me though, it's our receivers making great plays."
"The Nebraska game is definitely going to be a tough one. All Big 12 games are tough, but Nebraska is really tough."
