Defensively, we really bowed up. We knew they were going to make a run at us. It's their home stadium. They're a good football team. We knew we'd have to weather their storm. |
Gee, I hope we play Central this week, ... I think it would be a good thing. |
I've been around long enough to know that football only occupies a portion of what I do in life, |
It looked like we had a good inside, outside combination going on. Their defense limited us to just a few basic plays. Of course they're very good basic plays. When we handled the ball, and things like that, they went well for us. |
That's the kind of team you want to play. They're going to play hard, they're going to be good and well coached. |
There was good, there was bad and there was ugly. I think we've got to clean up the bad and ugly. I thought we looked like we were in good shape. Some of the early year problems we've got under control. Some of the other early-year problems we don't have under control. |
Thursday was tough because our players got so upset and disappointed because we couldn't play Baker. I reminded them that in the overall scheme of things one game is just that, a game. I told them it (game) was in the hands of a higher authority. It was more important for our police officers in Baker and Zachary to be in New Orleans helping to save lives. |
We need to play no matter what classification either team is. It's been a good, healthy rivalry and it's very convenient for both teams since we're so close to each other. |
