Miami Quarterback Jacory Harris

On the game:
“I know I have to go out there and win the football game. Injured or not I have to makethe play. If coach calls for the deep ball, I have to make the deep ball. I threw it as far as Icould and then Hankerson made a play for me. It’s just something that coach knowswe’ve been working on and I just need to take what the defense is going to give me. Ikind of slipped up a little bit on the interception but other than that I just took what thedefense gave me.”

On the future:
“Right now I’m not thinking about the future. I’m just kind of upset that I let the seniorclass down. That is something that we have been discussing all week. The future willcome and great things will happen.”

Miami Linebacker Glenn Cook

On the Jahvid Best:
“I think we made a few mistakes. He [Jahvid Best] is a great back and we settled downand stopped him. But I think we just gave up too many big plays. We’ve been talkingabout it all week that he is a great player and it would be key for us to stop the run andcontain him. We didn’t do enough.”

Miami Wide Receiver Laron Byrd

On the game:
“Our senior leaders stepped up for us. We knew what we were capable of doing but wemade the mistakes in the beginning.”

On the touchdown:
“Touchdowns don’t really matter when you lose the game. But, coach put me in positionto make the play. I’m not too thrilled about a touchdown when you lose though.”
