Monday Press Conference: Twitter Thread or HornSports Thread?

[Harrison Wier]

Warrick: "It's just putting all the execution into Saturday. Being able to carry it into a game has helped us come up with wins."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Warrick: "We have to prepare the same way we have been. Our fans are going to come and be loud. We just have to do our part throughout the week."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Warrick: "We are all natural competitors. We think we are the best. Getting the opportunity to showcase it gives us pride."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Warrick is done. Jake Oliver is next.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver: "It felt great to be out there and make plays. The win is most important."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver: "We go out every week and try to put points on the board. We don't differentiate our opponents. It helps a lot playing at home against these top 10 teams."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Jake on D'onta Foreman: "He is the real deal. The games don't even compare to what he does in practice. Our job is to block for him and help him get those big plays."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver: "We've been very focused the last couple of weeks. We are determined to win out. We want to show coach Strong that we are in this."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver: "Just to be in a bowl game will be a goal for us. Sitting at home last year is not fun. Thinking about what could have been is an awful feeling."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver on Collin Johnson: "When he first got on campus I knew this kid was going to be good. He's one of the hardest workers on our team. As a receiver group, this is the closest we've ever been. Seeing him succeed makes us all feel good."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver on WVU: "They are a tough defense. We knew that last year in Morgantown. Every week we know each defense is going to play as well they do all season. We can't have turnovers and penalties."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver on Kris Boyd: "I don't like going up against him in practice. He's one of the biggest trash talkers on the team. He makes us work harder as a group."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Oliver is done with the press. Next up is.... unknown defensive player.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Paul Boyette is up.

 

[Harrison Wier]

Boyette on going bowling: "It would be a phenomenal feeling. Coming back to DKR and playing WVU will be a great feeling."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Boyette: "We knew what type of guy Mahomes was. Our defense honed in and bought in. We all came together and knew the game would come down to us."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Boyette mentions that the defense calls Kris Boyd "baby Quandre Diggs." Seems fitting. 

 

[Harrison Wier]

Boyette: "Competing with your brothers in practice means you will compete even better in the game."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Boyette: "We know what type of team WVU is. They have a good rushing game and Howard is a good quarterback."

 

[Harrison Wier]

Boyette: "Our team is likely poetry. The page has to turn eventually. I think it is finally turning. The leadership has been phenomenal the past few weeks. The young guys have matured."
