Elliott: “We made some bonehead decisions … in the first quarter. Just some things I couldn’t really put my finger on.” — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) November 8, 2015

Elliott: “Our football team believed. Our football team is getting better. Our football team is hurting.”

Elliott to Jerell Adams: “What do you say to a guy who lays it on the line? Guy’s sitting there in tears. You tell him you love him,” — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) November 8, 2015

Elliott: “Offensively all we had to do was just continue with wise decisions that we didn’t make in the first quarter.”

Elliott: Nunez didn’t play as much because he messed up a play in the first. Tried to hand off in pass protection. — David Cloninger (@DCTheState) November 8, 2015

Elliott: Came in Monday and said he wanted Jon Walton in a three-back set. Nearly had two touchdowns tonight.
