On winning the first game

"I think it's very important to get this win; it will give us a great boost. We're playing a good team (Miami) next week and you know that they're going to come in with swagger."

On being a leader

"I feel great being a senior and a captain. I'm already in a position to be a leader, but everyone has been stepping up too."

On scoring

"It was such an incredible feeling to be able to score. I just turned around and I was like, ‘wow, all I see is red.'"

On playing Miami (Fla.) next week

"I'm very excited. It's a team I liked growing up, but I don't like them next week. They're the competition."

Dexter Larimore, senior defensive tackle

On the defense

"Obviously, you want the defensive line to do well. Once you stop the run you want to get the quarterback and we were able to do that against a good Marshall team."

On Brian Rolle's touchdown "It is always great for the team when the defense can score. It can really change the momentum of the game."
