2012 UTSA Roadrunners Football Rice 34, UTSA 14 Saturday, Oct. 13 Rice Stadium · Houston, Texas UTSA Postgame Quotes Head coach Larry Coker Opening statement … “Rice played very well today. We’ve been able to create turnovers all season, but we really weren’t able to do that today. Give them credit because they took care of the football and made some plays while we weren’t. We had a tough time stopping their running game and they rushed for over 300 yards. You’re not going to win many games that way. I told our team, ‘It’s not about what happens to you, it’s what you do about what happens to you.’ We’ve got to get in the film room, correct some things, grow up and press on." On what the team can take away from today’s loss … “I think it was a good experience for our team. Hopefully, most of these guys will be back when we play them again when we join Conference USA and they’ll remember this experience.” Eric Soza, Jr., QB On today’s game … “It’s a tough loss. Give Rice credit because they played a great game. They took away what we could do best and I give them all the credit for the win.” On what the team learned from today’s loss … “It’s tougher competition and that’s how we grow. It will be a learning experience if we use it the right way. If we go into tomorrow’s practice with a bad attitude, then it won’t be. We have to learn from our mistakes and get better.” Steven Kurfehs, Jr., LB/S On today’s game … “They were more physical than us today. It reminded me a lot of the South Alabama game last year in that they beat us off the ball and you could just tell they were more physical than us. On the support of the fans that traveled from San Antonio … “I’m very proud to see where I come from because our fans were great. It felt like a home game coming out here. It really fired us up and we had a lot of energy, but like I said, they were a lot more physical than us and it took our breath out.”
