Fresno State Head Coach Pat Hill:
"First of all, I'm very happy for our players. They have been through some really tough games against Boise State and I know how much this meant to each of them. I also want to acknowledge our great crowd tonight. We have great fans and they showed it tonight. We knew it would be tough with a 5 o'clock start but they came and were really into the game. Our students were great. This is their team because our players are student-athletes."
"Paul Pinegar played very, very well tonight. What else can you say. He was just about perfect in the first half. He's been like that all season. He's so steady and he just wins. After that first touchdown, I thought `Holy Cow', here we go again, but he just took over the game and they couldn't slow us down."
"We had some really big players step up for us tonight. They were the same guys that have done it all year. We are playing very good football right now. Obviously, getting Boise State behind us puts us in great shape to win the WAC, which is our goal. We have two very tough conference games left. Nevada is going to very tough and Louisiana Tech has great athletes and they are playing very."
Boise State Head Coach Dan Hawkins:
"They did a great job. They made the plays when they had to make them. My hats off to their staff and team. They out-coached us and out-played us. They are a big physical bunch."
"We all know what it's like to live under the microscope. To be a champion you have to understand a champion and I respect their program a lot."
"I think Paul [Pinegar] is playing really good. They are making some big plays."
"We just couldn't convert. We get a guy open and we miss it. We get a guy open and we drop it. We turned it over a couple of times and that hurt us."
"Our guys are very classy and we have to finish out strong. We have to learn from this and move on."
"[Paul Williams] did a great job. He is a big kid and fast."
"We don't get into that [win streak]. We never talk about that. We try to have a streak each week."
