QUOTING THE SEAWOLVES Head Coach Chuck Priore "The kids played hard tonight. Rhode Island is a good football team and sometimes it happens to you. It happened to us a few weeks ago. You get barraged and you can't get out of your own way. We thought that if we controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball we would keep their offensive off the field and we would put pressure on the quarterback. We were able to accomplish that. That is a single day and we are very happy with the win, but now we move forward." DB Synceir Malone "We just wanted to stay on our keys and stay on our man. We knew that they (Rhode Island) had one of the best receiving corps that we have faced this season and we wanted to make sure we all did our jobs and stayed locked in." QB Joe Carbone "We've been improving each week. That is something that we have been working on. We still have room for improvement and that is always exciting." RB Donald Liotine "It is not difficult for us to play well if we just stick to the coaching and game plan and do our assignments. We have the players around us to make plays." NOTES
