Coach John Franco's quote: "I thought he did an outstanding job on Friday. He will probably credit his offensive lineman and receivers. Ashton really stepped up. His passing and accuracy was outstanding and maybe the best he's ever been in his two full years as a starting quarterback. It's good to see him improving and getting better each week. The performance Friday was nothing short of outstanding."
