Notre Dame Stadium: "All losses feel the same. We hate losing, espe- cially at home, especially losing on Senior Day. "I wish we could do anything to get everything back to winning." Notre Dame senior offensive line- man and captain Nick Martin … On the program Kelly has built: "Coach Kelly has built a winning tradition here. It's hard to lose this many games, but the fact of the mat- ter is, he's built a winning tradition." On moving on from the loss: "We have a 24-hour rule. It's part of the game. We win together, but at the same time, we lose together. … There's no doubt about it, it's hard, especially when you're a competitor. "Our team did a great job compet- ing today, but Sunday we self-scout. You've got to learn from your mis- takes." On how the team has or has not changed since being 6-0 before fac- ing Florida State: "It is the same team. We've just got to make a few plays here or there, but you can't play the 'if' game. "You have to move forward." Notre Dame sophomore corner- back Cole Luke … On if his coverage of Cardinals wide receiver DeVante Parker was his best game in an Irish uniform: "I couldn't even tell you. I would leave that to everybody else to critique. I don't really look at the past games. "I'm just trying to focus — I was focused on today, but now I'm just focused on USC. I [couldn't] really care less about how well I played." Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino … On winning at Notre Dame: "It will help us in recruiting and also gets us to eight wins so far. It is a great win. Notre Dame is a fun place to come and play. "The city of Louisville came up here and supported us, an unbeliev- able crowd. … It was pretty awe- some when we got off the team bus to come in. It was almost as if we were at home with our Card march." Louisville senior outside line- backer/defensive end Lorenzo Mauldin … On winning at Notre Dame: "Be- sides Florida State, this is one of the biggest games I've ever played. We just told ourselves we gave away one big game, we can't give away an- other." On where this win ranks in the program's recent history: "I can say the [2013] Sugar Bowl was the first big win, the second is against Miami, and this is definitely the third." Louisville freshman quarterback Reggie Bonnafon … On Notre Dame's missed field goal attempt to tie: "I was just speechless. I was sitting there hop- ing that something would go right for us. It did."
