We just got rid of the bells and whistles and just played football. Our offensive line really started coming off the ball and making holes. There was nothing fancy in what we did for the last quarter and a half. |
We played well for about a quarter and a half, but after that we didn't play well at all. When we didn't protect on that punt in the second quarter and gave them a short field, that really started to turn things. And then, when we got tired, we started making mental mistakes. |
We started out with a good number of folks, and then some of the hotels nearby couldn't support the people coming in. ... There is a lot of overflow. |
We told the kids at halftime that the first thing we wanted to see was for them to compete in this kind of situation. We didn't want to hang our heads. We wanted to go out and play as a team. |
We wanted to come out and win the second half. That is an old cliche, but sometimes you've got to resort to that. And that's where we were at halftime. |
We were real happy with our play early. The kids were really coming off the ball, playing excited on defense and offense. |
We'd run a play, and our tailback would get a cramp. So we'd put another tailback in, and he'd get a cramp. We just had to limit what we did in the second half, and we tried to use the clock and control the ball. |
We're packed out right now. |
We've gone back to the drawing board, |
