HC Kevin Sumlin

* We missed bunch of 1-on-1 situations early. Missed tackles...deep balls. Had discussion at halftime about doing your job. It worked.

* You don't have bad football teams this time of year. Duke is a very well-prepared, well-coached team. Give them credit. Played well.

* Gain confidence from a situation like this. For seniors, it's a big deal to close it out. For the young guys, it sets the tone.

* Labhart gives hope to everybody. He's a guy that worked and plays really hard. Always room for a guy like him.

* Offensive gameplan was good and we got guys like Cam Clear involved. We were more multiple and had great energy.

QB Johnny Manziel

* All night, it was about not quitting. Kept stressing to not look at the scoreboard. 0-0...see how things go.

* It's an unreal feeling. I'm really proud of them. Biggest comeback win in school history.

* When I left my feet originally, I thought I was in trouble. I shot backwards and scrambled and saw Labhart wide open.

* Duke plays with more heart than anyone in the country. They had so much fire and passion and energy.

* If the [NFL] decision comes, I know they like to play man. We did that well tonight. One incompletion in [the second half] was big.

DB Toney Hurd

* Could not have scripted a better way to go out. To win with my teammates...it's a great feeling.

* The biggest thing is that we have to stay together. We made plays when it counted and came out with a win.

* Snyder called a great D [on the pick 6]. I saw the ball leave his hands and the rest is history. It was a great play.

Duke HC David Cutcliffe

* This game grows our program and we'll continue to grow our program. We're all responsible to make each year better than the last.

* I hadn't seen Manziel play and I can't imagine him playing much better than he played today. Unbelievably accurate. Great QB.

* Manziel was able to create plays. We thought we had him down a few times but he's so strong. He's really strong.

* Jamison Crowder gave us everything he had and he had a great game with 12 catches and a bunch of yards.

* Seeing Manziel in person, he has poise and total command and is really fast. That's what you need to succeed in the NFL.

* No question that we can play with anybody...we just have to play well. We're recruiting quality people that can play well.
