Defensively, we played well and we had some younger players come through. Five or six of these kids started as sophomores ... we expected them to be good defensively. |
John set the tone for us tonight with his outstanding play on both sides of the ball. |
Once the game went to overtime, I really thought we were going to win. It didn't work out for us, but I'm really proud of our young men. They played to win tonight. |
The first quarter we really played well, but then I thought we were spotty and didn't finish. We moved the ball up and down the field all night. We just didn't finish drives. |
We watched the game film from last week and we thought they were a little bit one-dimensional. I thought our linebackers came up very physical. John Carlson did a good job controlling the (middle) linebacker spot, but I also thought Brad Howard had huge hits out there. |
We were making things happen. |
