He said it: "After the game, I got the chance to reflect on it and to think back that I started my high school career right there on Bishop Lynch's field. My second pass ever was actually an interception and to come back and knock 10,000 off on their home field it's a pretty good feeling, thinking back to all the teammates and the coaches I played with and played for it's quite an accomplishment and I'm truly proud of it."

Coach said it: "Really there was no talk about it whatsoever through the week. We didn't bring it up with Ryan, nobody on the team even knew. If they did, they knew just because they knew he was getting close anyway. We wanted to make sure we were focused on doing what we need to do from a game standpoint. After the game was when we could relax and celebrate it and enjoy. We were able to recognize him with our team there after it wall done." -- Chris Cunningham
