When you do things that are uncharacteristic, we had to play well on special teams, and we didn't do that. When you do things that are not characteristic, even subtle things, you have to give your opponents a lot of credit. |
When you go, you don't have to get there, but you have to at least make your presence known. The first touchdown, we came after him and blew it. |
