Coach Washington on his understanding of the first half and if he knew he had three timeouts: "Yes, I did. I did call a timeout, but it was the media timeout, so I didn't have to waste it. Then, there was an injury on top of it that stopped the clock. At that time, they told me that they were not charging me with that timeout. I knew exactly how many we had."

Coach Washington on the momentum swing going into halftime: "Whenever you can go in with points being placed on the board, that's huge. It's called big momentum, and it's taking that energy into the locker room, knowing that we will receive the ball when we come out. That's exactly what it is."

Coach Washington on Tuten's importance to the offense: "His importance grows weekly. He's just a special young guy, and he has all the tools and the desire. It is rare to get those combinations from one player. When you do, you have something special. When I say he practices with the same effort and the same energy, I'm not joking. He has one speed, and that's wide open. I think that makes all of us better."

Coach Washington on the quarterback injuries: "It doesn't look very good, but I can't tell you to what magnitude. The concussion one is the one that concerns me the most. The kid swears he doesn't have a concussion, but protocol says he does. We're going to go with protocol."

Coach Washington on the thought process on putting Alston Hooker in the game: "For one, I wanted to see him play in a live game. The kid can play, the kid can run the ball. It's just getting him in and getting him some live action."

Coach Washington asked if he had ever played four quarterbacks in a game: "No, this was the first. I think this is the first time that I have ever seen it. I have never witnessed four quarterbacks in a ball game."

Coach Washington on the key to getting the running game going: "Giving the ball to Tuten. I really think the offensive line is gelling. There are about eight of them that are very close nit and work very well together. I think everything starts there."

Coach Washington of the job Wesley Graves is doing: "I love the job Graves has been doing. He's that hidden gem that people seek. But, you know Tuten, you have to prepare for him. If you don't watch it, Graves will cut your throat. We're going to use him as a weapon and continue to use him as a weapon."

Coach Washington on continuing to build from this win: "One week at a time. One game at a time. We cannot get ahead of ourselves; we must take it one game at a time. We have to make sure we're getting better as a team, and we have to be able to see the growth. We have some young guys that are developing. It's not at the pace we would like; however, they are developing. We have to make sure we continue to do that."

Coach Washington on the key to beating South Carolina State: "The key was that we were able to run the football; they were not. They are a run-first team; according to this paper, they had 12 yards rushing. That's a big part of it. If you take away what most teams do best, it is very difficult to be successful."

Coach Washington on how the atmosphere changed after changing the quarterbacks: "I honestly don't think it was a big change because we practice all four quarterbacks every day. I wasn't as if it was something unheard of. Many people were surprised by the fourth one actually getting into the game."

Coach Washington on defensive strategy after last week's game: "Actually, they are two different teams. What Duke did is totally different than what South Carolina State did. It is kind of hard to transition from one to the other. I thought Duke was a more balanced team. They could both run and pass, which was a bigger challenge for us. Coming into the game, we knew South Carolina State would try to run the football. Shaq Davis is a freak. We knew they were going to throw him the ball. We tried putting our No. 1 on him, but he still caught the football. He's done that to everyone, and he will do that on Sundays."
