Coach Mike Kramer on win over Simon Fraser
"Really a fairly convincing effort, I wouldn't call it dominant. A lot of errors, a lot of inexperience on our offensive line that showed up a lot. Their defensive line got after our quarterback pretty good and we had too many turnovers at quarterback. Our defense played outstanding. We gave them some bad field position and looked like they were going to keep it to zero then we fumbled again. Really good job by Simon Fraser. I think he knows guys are learning how to play and he's got a great base of experience in the CFL. He'll do fine at Simon Fraser."Quote provided by ISUBengals.com
