I never imagined we would give up the game-winning touchdown, especially with the way we've been playing. We had high hopes and a lot of respect for what we do. To give it up like that, it really hurts. |
I never imagined we'd lose the game on a touchdown, the way our unit had been playing. We came in with high hopes but to give it up like that really hurts. Until we kick it off in 2006, this will be in the back of our minds. |
We feel we're the heartbeat of the team. When we make a big play, the offense and defense can feed off of that. It's really a great motivator to be No. 1 two years in a row. It's hard to be No. 1 once. We're definitely motivated by the challenge of this weekend. |
We've got a bunch of guys that played hard all year. Sometimes it happens. It just happened at a crucial time. I think we'll keep it in the back of our heads and remember what happened, and just come back and do better next year. |
