“I would like to express to Coach (Major) Applewhite and the Houston Cougars our thoughts and prayers are with all of them and the millions of people in Houston and in that area affected by the storm. Football is obviously important but there are things way more important. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of them. - Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo
“Obviously right now our state is stronger than ever. You start seeing people helping each other all over our state. When adversity hits you find out the best in everybody. It’s so saddening to see what is happening in the coastal area of our state. Yet it’s very rewarding to see the people coming together. It’s a time of need right now. We’ve all got to come together.” - SMU coach Chad Morris
