UNDER THE DOME
"I don't remember the last home game. It's really nice to be back at home, be able to play
in front of our own fans and in front of our own families."
Notre Dame senior offensive lineman and team captain
Nick Martin on the 35 days between home games
"Yeah, you lose, but it doesn't change anything. You're still lucky you get to hit people." — Martin on
how his mindset changes, or doesn't, following Notre Dame's second loss
"If you're playing for the end result of a championship, you're not playing for too much. You need to
play for your brothers and your teammates." — Notre Dame senior quarterback Everett Golson on what
goals remain with two losses on the Irish record
"I don't think I'm going to change who I am. That's what makes me the player I am." — Golson on how
his play will change after giving up 17 turnovers in six games
"We're so close. It's more about just playing with each other and finishing out the season strong. We
don't really want to think about the national championship. It sucks that it may not be as close as it
was, but we just want to go out there and play and finish out the season strong. We just have a winning
mentality." — Notre Dame sophomore receiver Torii Hunter Jr. on what the Irish will play for the rest of
the season
