Mario Cristobal on loving Travis Dye up on the sideline after two fumbles: "Don’t tear down your players, build them up. Travis has won a lot of football games for us. He’s tough, he’s determined, it means a lot to him. I saw how much that hurt him over there."

Geno Auriemma: "When Kelly Graves got the job at Oregon, I remember telling the people at Nike, 'I think they're going to be in the Final Four in four years. He's a really good coach, and Oregon is going to obviously do whatever they need to do, they're going to get great.'"

I've lived in Oregon for over five years now and Friday was the first time I've hear the Civil War called The Platypus Bowl (by freshman RB Travis Dye).
